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.

ISMUpdateChecker

Sunday, June 24th 2007 - 13:17
Since a few days, after every reboot Little Snitch warned me that a process called ISMUpdateChecker wanted to connect to retro.alt-it.com. Since I didn't know where this process came from, I wanted to google it before allowing it to connect to the internet - only to find that neither Google nor the other search sites knew about ISMUpdateChecker.

Well, turns out that alt-it.com is the hoster of www.islayer.net, which in turn last week released iStat menus, which now sits in my Menu Bar and tells me the CPU-activity, RAM usage and Temperature of my MacBooks Bottomside. So, not much to worry about I guess.

Dashboard Pong: pongClock 1.0 RC1

Wednesday, June 13th 2007 - 09:44
Since this has been lying around for some months now, I cleaned pongClock up a bit and added some features. » Here is the beta which will most likely become version 1.0, I hope some of you like it.
Features:
  • Play Pong in your Dashboard
  • If you don't play, the widget plays against itself; the score shows the current time!
  • Completely written in JavaScript; it also runs in other browsers. The preferences look a bit messed in Firefox, though...
  • NEW: Fullscreen mode. Play in Fullscreen, the opacity is adjustable via a slider in the preferences
