Today was basically a dull day, I spent most of it reading news articles on the Internet and I downloaded a tutorial for the Qt programming toolkit, which KDE uses to display its windows and stuff. I read some of it and tried out the first example but it didn’t compile so I left it and then I had to go out. I wish they supplied Makefiles with the examples.

We went to Jarir bookstore, which, as Siddiqi will gladly tell you is where I should have been born! Any bookstore will do, actually. First off I picked up a card to send to Karachi since my cousin has successfully passed her exams and I wanted to congratulate her. Then I went to the software section and asked if they sold linux. They told me it was for around 200 riyals!! Linux is a free operating system and here these guys are trying to make money off of it. I am now going to try and distribute free copies of linux to people so that they don’t get ripped off. Anyway, I found a few interesting books, nothing much else. No need to buy magazines since I can read them on the internet anyway.

Later on I had to go jogging but as it was already 11 o’clock at night, we had to go home. We watched a bit of Sgt. Bilko. I was up again until 4:00 writing emails to my friends
