DJango Notes
##### No MySQLdb Module
After enabling MySQL in my Django **settings.py** file I was presented with this error;
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
A simple;
python
import MySQLdb
Proved I didn't have a MySQLdb module installed, which I can fix.
##### Find MySQL
Now before we do anything we need to add the MySQL path to our **.bash_profile** file
mate .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Save and reload Terminal.
Run **which mysql** to find your MySQL install dir, you want the library location so if it gives you,
which mysql
>> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
...use
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
...the **$PATH** bit basically appends this string to the end of your path parameters.
##### Download MySQLdb
Next download the module from [here](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307) and extract it.
##### Edit the Source
Next
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
##### Install the MySQLdb Module
Finally terminal into the module's directory and install MySQLdb;
cd MySQL-python-1.2.2
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
Should go ok, confirm with **import MySQLdb** in a python console.
You should now be able to continue with your Django development.

So I couldn't simply set "capability.policy.default.XMLHttpRequest.open" to
allAccess since that allows not just cross-site requests, but also cross-site
access to the .open method, which is scary.

OpenOffice - odt to word doc bullet points fix
I've had success using the Font Replacement Table, located in the Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org ->Fonts
Enable "Apply replacement table", select "Symbol" in the lefthand FONT drop down, select "OpenSymbol" in the righthand "Replace with" dropdown. Press the checkmark to the right to add the substitution to the table. Make sure you check the Always box.
Once this is set up, opening and saving in MSWord 97/XP format preserves the bullet characters in both directions.

NetBeans - Create Macro
For this use-case follow these steps to create a macro:
1) make whatever selection, e.g. one word
2) Menu | Edit | Start Macro Recording
3) Ctrl-x (Cut)
4) Type "<%#", press Ctrl+v (paste), type "%>"
5) Menu | Edit | Stop Macro Recording
6) Set macro name and shortcut
(undo the changes if you want)
Now whenever you press the short cut when some text is selected it will be wrapped in <%# selected-text %>.
