Hacking OpenOffice

In the article on XML.com he plays with OpenOffice XML, introduces an XSTL style sheet to a Writer document, creates a keyboard shortcut for applying his own style, and creates a macro."

    Frodo twirled a lock of brown between two slender, pale fingers
    unconsciously. He was staring at Samwise, a younger hobbit, who was
    playing in the garden. His knees were dirty and his hands were covered in
    the filthy ground, but Frodo couldn't keep his eyes off the boy. Sweat
    trickled down the hobbit's brow and he paused, leaning heavily on one
    grubby hand, to wipe at his forehead with a dirt-smearing handkerchief he
    dug out of one of his trouser pockets. Frodo found himself indiscreetly
    watching the hobbit play with his toy shovel and pat piles of dirt into small
    mounds as he sat in the flowerbed. Muscles ripped like waves of an ocean,
    sunlight shining off his damp hair and bare skin. His cheeks were red and
    a smile was upon his lips as he worked the dirt, staring at his creation with
    small, dark blue eyes.
    Snapping out of his trance, Frodo noticed his mouth was hanging
    open and he shut it immediately. His lips were wet; each breath he drew
    was heavier than the last. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his pants and
    shut the book that lay sprawled in his lap. It wouldn't do him any good to
    read now. His eyes would not focus, nor would his mind. Nothing was
    going right. All he could think about was Samwise Gamgee and his
    beautiful, deep eyes. They were the color of the sea, and the sky and every
    emotion in a single flash of brilliant paints.
    His thoughts were consumed by the hobbit and he felt his body
    growing warm, especially his groin. He tried to think of something else,
    more familiar, but each thing led him back to Sam's body. The beautiful,
    bare skin of his forearms and legs taunted Frodo and caused his groin to
    tighten. The hobbit blushed bright red and pressed his hands to his cheeks,
    trying to cool his face. Much to his horror he felt his cock harden and
    press against his trousers unrelentingly.
    Frodo felt his body began to throb, but he was confused. This had
    never happened before and he didn't know if it was natural. Was his body
    supposed to be swelling and throbbing? Perhaps he had injured himself
    how--but what had he done? Frodo couldn't remember having done
    anything that might have injured that part of his body. Maybe he had
    caught a rare and deadly disease! He started to panic, before he
    remembered something he had heard one of the other hobbit lads talking
    about. When it gets like that, I just give it a quick yank, unless there is a
    hobbit girl around. The comment had been followed by a lot of laughter
    from the other hobbits, but Frodo had just felt like he was being left out of
    a big secret.
    What did a hobbit girl have to do with anything? Sure, they were
    pretty and kind, but he didn't think they were the same as his Sam.
    His groin stared to ache and he felt as if he might explode with a
    million feelings. In his gut he felt awful, but it was exciting, feeling like
    had did. His hand found his belt bucket and unfastened it. Then, clumsily,
    he unbuttoned his pants and let them drop to the ground. Sitting alone, in
    his room, Frodo slowly laid his hand on his cock. When nothing bad
    happened he drew a finger across it in a silky, cool line. A small shiver
    shot up his spine and he encircled the member with his hand and moved it
    lightly at first. He started to feel happier, his excitement peaking as his
    hand traveled quicker with each stroke. Suddenly, in a burst of warmth,
    Frodo released into his hand, and moaned bitterly, wishing the pleasure
    would not leave.
    The door flew open at that moment and Bilbo came in, busily
    searching for his pipe he had misplaced. Frodo quickly got up and tried to
    button his pants in a quick movement, without his uncle noticing. Bilbo
    looked up at Frodo at that exactly instant and started to ask,
    "Have you seen my pipe?" but he stopped speaking in mid-
    sentence and stared at Frodo. His nephew looked anywhere, except at
    Bilbo. He stared at the floor, the ceiling, the window and the no

    You'd think that these people talking about creating usable templates and proper layouting would at least create a site that doesn't require me to maximize my browser window (at least in the horizontal direction. Seriously, not everybody is viewing everything at 1600px width.
