Woke-up at 10:30, reached my class of "Shell Scripting" at the proper time: 11:30. Taught them about readline, aliases and shell varriables. Also gave them a little intro. to OOP in C. After that I stayed at the Univ. for the 2nd class of "Linux System Administration" at 16:00. Taught them vi(m).

I was in a mood to go out for the dinner. When my friend Zeeshan (same name :) came to meet me, We went to a Chinese (you would'nt find any Chinese around) restaurant. I love the 'Chicken Thai Soup' they make.

At night (11:30) when i logged into my system and connected to the internet, I came across something i was searching for: DocBook Website. I was glad to see a deb with the name docbook-website in my apt repo. I immediatelly downloaded/installed it and started to read the examples. But xsltproc was'nt able to find the appropriate DTDs and was fetching it from the internet. The trouble seemed to be of the catalog system but despite 3 hours of efforts, i was'nt able to debug it. Maybe it's because im too lame and stupid at DocBook/XML. Anyways, i emailed the deb packager (Mark Johnson) to checkout if the problem is not at his end.

Three days passed and I have'nt been able to work on GNU Robots :(
