Automate posting to Google Plus

I'd like a script that will automate making a post to Google Plus. It must run on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS (installing packages from any recognised public repository is OK). Pure PHP is preferable, other languages considered. Code must be clear, unobfuscated and well commented, OO style preferred. **Commented code is an important part of this job: I reserve the right to ask for additional comments until the purpose/meaning of the code is clear to me. ** Code must include an example usage that takes these inputs, and makes a post to Google Plus of the plain text provided. - google account name - google account password - plain text Future work is likely as I will probably want to expand this to post pictures and links, and update the script if the method it uses stops working because of a change in G+'s service. **with your bid, please include these items otherwise I will ignore your bid: - A very brief outline of your strategy. - The name of Homer's wife.**
