Description: What is this?
        -------------
        
        Have you ever wondered how you get the login messages when you log
        into your school's or companies' servers?
        
        Have you ever wondered why some people get quotes of the day as their
        login messages and some get the same boring notices everyday?
        
        Have you ever wondered how you can configure your system to deliver
        you some reasonably smart quotes and only discovered that you don't
        have write permission to ``/etc/motd``?
        
        If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, then
        QuoteOfTheDay is for you. This module simply goes to The Quotations
        Page (www.quotationspage.com) to pull the quotes and motivational
        quotes of the day for the past 10 days, pickles the cached quotes in
        your home directory (so we are all good netizens), and randomly picks
        one to display on your console everytime you invoke the ``qotd``
        script. As a bonus feature, you can also invoke this script in your
        ``.login`` files to see a quote of the day (or the session anyway) :P.
        
        
        Download:
        ---------
        
        Just grab the source package from below or follow the URL to download
        the latest revision from the repository.
        
        
        Install:
        --------
        
        Unzip or untar the package, change directory into the extracted
        distribution and type:
        
        ::
        
            $ python setup.py install
        
        or if you want to do a user-specific installation:
        
        ::
        
            $ python setup.py install --install-lib $YOUR_PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_PATH --install-scripts $YOUR_PYTHON_SCRIPT_PATH
        
        or
        
        ::
        
            $ python setup.py install --home ~/
        
        or something to these effects, as long as the end-users have access to
        the qotd script.
        
        If you want to see a quote every time you login using a terminal, you
        can put something similiar to the following in your .bash_profile or
        .bashrc if you use BASH.
        
        ::
        
            if [ -f ~/bin/qotd ]; then ~/bin/qotd; fi
        
        As usual, consult your shell's manual to find out how to invoke a
        script at login time.
