Your mission, should you choose to accept it

Write a Ruby command line application that

  • accepts a list of search keywords as arguments
  • queries the Flickr API for the top-rated image for each keyword
  • downloads the results
  • crops them rectangularly
  • assembles a collage grid from ten images and
  • writes the result to a user-supplied filename
  • host your code repository on github or bitbucket

If given less than ten keywords, or if any keyword fails to result in a match, retrieve random words from a dictionary source such as /usr/share/dict/words. Repeat as necessary until you have gathered ten images.

Be careful and conservative in your handling of files and other IO. Bonus points for wrapping the application in a Gem. Please include a README with instructions on how to install and run your application.

Hint: You're free to use any existing Gem which helps you to get the challenge done.
