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.

Good bye, MacTechNews.de!

Sunday, December 16th 2007 - 16:13
Over the weekend, one of my favorite Mac-related news sites MacTechNews.de unveiled their new website. Doesn't even look bad and as they say, they are proud of their new codebase, but there is one thing: It now runs on Microsoft IIS 6.0 and everything is coded using ASP.net.

Well, there are a lot of websites out there that use it and I'm sure it's not all that bad, but then again there's one thing I really honor: Principles. Yes, maybe I'm a little too straight when it comes down to principles, but running a Mac-news site on Microsoft Software is something that doesn't work, that doesn't fit, that makes me cry.

Once, we Mac-users were the rebels. That time surely is gone, we're mainstream today, but I can't believe we've come this far already. Well, I've not come this far, for sure, and so I've just done what I had to do: I deleted the Bookmark, which held the number 1 spot in my news-bookmarks.

Good bye, MacTechNews.de!
