As I promised DI, I changed my theme for my blog. Since he stole mine. Grrr…
If you look at Missouri in Google Earth, from an angle where you can see the whole state, it looks like it tiles. It’s very strange. Check it out:

On this day, September the 24th of 2006, at 10:15 pm, I, the Benevolent Overlord of Zibland, declare my supreme rule over the Island Sherry (being located in Lake Superior, which shall hereby be known as Lake Zib, at a location of 46°40’24.72″N 84°43’30.02″W), and do hereby claim the island for the nation of Zibland. Any residents currently living on the Island Sherry are hereby warned that they should evacuate the island within one week of this Ultimatum, or they shall be faced with the Army of Zibland (consisting at the moment of a General and a Private and me). They are warned, however, that they will be given the option of becoming citizens of Zibland, and would not be forced to leave the island. Failure to comply with this order will result in being forcibly removed from the Island Sherry. Returning to the Zibland after being banished will result in up to 3 months in jail. You have until October the First to make your choice. WE MARCH ON THE 1ST!
Happy Rosh Hashannah to my fellow Jews out there, and Happy start-of-Ramadan (which is probably horribly misspelled) to all the Muslims out there! Christians…uh…happy Sunday. 🙂 Is it right to wish people a happy Ramadan? It’s like a month long tho…and the purpose is to know how poor people live, i guess…which is kind of depressing, so it’s not really a happy holiday, right? I don’t know, I’ll ask my Islam Expert about all that. Unless someone else thinks they can explain it better…
Today in 1982, at this time exactly, Scott E. Fahlman invented the emoticon. He created the first emoticons, 🙂 and :-(. Their original purpose was to show which messages on a forum were serious and which were jokes, where joking messages would have 🙂 and serious ones wouldn’t. Happy birthday, :-)!
If I’m to believe this video, then the renovations that the ISS is/was/will be undergoing are huge. Look at how they start off that video (which details the construction process of the additions), and then how they end it. The space station is gigantic by the end, more than twice as big as how it started off. And what’s with all the shifting of parts? Why don’t they add them on in the order they’re going to be in, instead of going all higgelty-piggelty (first time I’ve ever used that phrase) and end up having to move everything around before the end? Some of this stuff makes no sense to me…
Also, while we’re on the topic of the ISS, check out this picture. Be careful, it’s really, really big. That’s the sun, with the shillouette of the ISS being built on blocking a tiny, tiny bit.
Peter Callesen’s paper cut-outs are amazing. They are so detailed, it’s incredible. For other cool stuff like this, check out Wohba!

Well. Back in school. Again. New school now, though. No more kid stuff 😛 So far, the pros and cons:
There are many other great features about this school, but I don’t have enough space to write about everything, so I’ll stop here.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. If I think of more, I’ll update this post! 🙂
I’m trying to get ProFTPd to limit one of my users to just a certain directory (/var/www/ftp), but no matter what i do it keeps putting me in their home directory on the system (/home/foo). I’ve reinstalled proftpd, so I have the absolute basic installation, plus 2 users (me and a friend, not the one i want to use)
Can someone either guide me through this or point me at a good tutorial on how to do it, please? 🙁
Oh I should mention that I am a sudoer on this system, which is running ubuntu 6.06 lts. I use bash. Uhh…oh I’m using ssh to do all this. That’s about it! 🙂
