The ~ is unix notation for "home directory of", ie, in this case, home directory of ssharkey. It's standard notation for user_dir installations. In other words, the ~ is what clue's Apache to go look up that user's home directory (whereever it is) and then look in a specified directory (relative to home) for the content to serve.
