A working progress

An interesting idea indeed…Flying to another country, Russia of all places, to go on a mission trip. Boy I had no idea what I was getting into. The preparation alone is an undertaking. Camping supplies, we will be in the woods for several days; cloths for a month, even though they have a washer and dryer; and food, their food is somewhat strange. Needless to say this past week I have been rather busy—or should I say my mom has. But on a more important note I finally got around to reinstalling Ubuntu on my system, and this time I did it right. I created a partion, so that next time Windows decides that it no longer wants to work, I can reinstall it without over righting my Linux distro. And upon installing it, I was instantly confronted with a problem—file restrictions. I tried to put a cool skin on what I consider a boring gnome theme, and Bam! I do not have permission to access the files. It so annoying to think that I downloaded it, I unpacked it and moved to its proper location, and yet I am still not the owner. So then I chmod, it—770 to be exact, to no avail. Then I tried 777, the big daddy of them all, and while it gave me access I could still not install it as a theme. Maybe I should try again…and hopefully this time it will work better.
