Bullets in OpenOffice on the Mac

When I open an Open Office document that was saved as a Word document I noticed, instead of the nice bullet points I expected to see, I see this funny looking character that looks more like a box with a spider in it. If you've seen this same behavior here's a way to work around this annoying situation.

Use the Font Replacement Table, located in the OpenOffice.org -> Preferences ->Fonts:

Clearing Security Certificates on Firefox 3.6.X on the Mac OS 10

Recently I got the esteemed opportunity to spend a week working from a local hospital here in Colorado. The problem was that sometimes the self-signed certificate the network was using would need to be refreshed. Since the exception had already been added to Firefox it made getting a new copy of the certificate next to impossible. After messing around with it for awhile, I finally found out how to remove the old, stale certificate.

1. Got to Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
2. View Certificates
3. Click on Servers
4. In this case it was listed under (Unknown).
