make sure you are accessing it as url.org/~dad 
and that /home/dad and /home/dad/public_html are both world executable
(otherwise the webserver, can't change to it to server the files)

also make sure either /home/dad/public_html/index.html exists of
/home/dad/public_html/ is world readable

As I got up in front of them, I felt an intoxication
that had nothing to do with alcohol.  It was the
intoxication of being a public spectacle.
