Pascal:  It should not have a problem with parentheses, any valid CSV should work. Is the file Ending ".csv"? Can you send me the output of the following Terminal command?
qlmanage -d1 -t file.csv

Ted Fischer:  This is a fantastic plugin! Unfortunately, it doesn't work with csv data generated from FileMaker Pro. I wonder if it's because FMP encloses the data in parentheses. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks, Ted

Pascal:  Nice tip, thanks! Looks like rsnapshot.org was also inspired by Mike Rubel's post, but done a little more professional than my version. :)

zero:  You might be interested in rsnapshot(http://rsnapshot.org). It can do snapshot backups using rsync. Timemachine might be the best comparison to its features... It's available through macports.

Bogdan:  With git, repository history rewriting is possible, but I have never tried that (only using git for less than a year).
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. In some environments (like whole server backup) using git/svn for backup is not really a good idea.

Siteupgrade: Atom and AJAX

Tuesday, July 18th 2006 - 19:57
So, after silently enabling the Atom-feed some weeks ago, I today decided to go live with the AJAX-powered comments.
I did some thorough testing in Camino/FF and Safari, other browsers should work if they handle JavaScript standard-compliant; IE surely will not work, support for this "browser" will be added after I finished my exams, that means October at the earliest. Browsers that do not currently understand my AJAX-stuff will work nevertheless, but the old-fashioned reload-way. ;)
I'd be glad about feedback/wishes/reports about the AJAX-comments (and the whole blog-thing).

Disable the dashboardadvisory-daemon

Tuesday, July 4th 2006 - 22:25
So, since 10.4.7, Mac OS X phones home, too. While at the moment, no suspicious data is sent, this fact may render some people nervous.
Simple solution: turn the responsible daemon off.
This article shows you how to do this.
