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.

Dynamically assigning event handlers in IE

Saturday, January 27th 2007 - 00:15
Today I finished some changes to this blog-software – most important is the possibility to get an email whenever someone comments an article you are watching. There is nothing too fancy going on, but I had some problems with the Internet Explorer and dynamically assigned event handlers. Here is with what I have come up to conquer the issue.

80 percent of spam emails sent through Windows based botnets [Updated 7.2.2008]

Saturday, January 13th 2007 - 18:23, 1 update Thursday, February 7th 2008 - 00:14
Are you a Windows user? If so, you are hopefully aware of the insecurity of your operating system. And since you are aware, I guess you protect your computer against viruses, worms, trojans and other nasty stuff with the appropriate software. Yeah, sure. Then why gets 80% of all spam emails sent through a botnet of Microsoft Windows based computers...?

Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Monday, January 8th 2007 - 20:41
I don't want to lose many words on the ongoing debate "Evolution vs. Intelligent Design" overseas in the United States since it's too stupid to be even considered a "debate" in the first place. I'll only provide three videos hosted on YouTube covering that topic; the pick of the bunch being the first one; one great quote:
"Whenever someone tries to tell me [...] it took place in 7 days, I reach for a fossil and go: Fossil."

Oh, and be sure to check out the related videos, even the ones telling you to "...not believe in evolution!". Some of them are at least funny (again ignoring the sad fact that somemany people take them seriously...).
