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.

IE, the cancer on the net

Monday, August 7th 2006 - 22:00
The times they are a changing. And that seems to be a good thing.
For a too long time, Mac- and Linux-users in General and website-developers in Particular told as many people as they could to not use the MS Internet Explorer. The rise of Firefox finally ate a good piece of marketshare away from the IE, and now – after the first ideas of putting a warning on the home page for IE users through notes about PNG-images not being displayed correctly up to the latest too cool for IE campaign – Windows-gurus join the resistance.
Paul Thurrot, journalist for the WindowsITPro-magazine and webmaster of the WinSuperSite, advises in his IE 7.0 review: (a good read btw)
"My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators."
Thank you, Paul! Even if Apple today announced OS 10.5 Leopard, you made my day!
