How to make a failure as massive as losing your entire backup sound like a feature.
This is way too casual, it even makes it sound like I can just postpone this action and doesn’t clearly indicate that my entire backup is gone/corrupted.
Sorry about the ginormous/blurry image, this theme apparently likes to upscale.

How to make a failure as massive as losing your entire backup sound like a feature.

When Dynamically Generating CSV, Don’t Forget the Quotes

I was generating CSV files with PHP so that a client could easily export their mailing list from the database when I hit a snag with loading the generated files on a Mac.

I received the error message:

“SYLK: file format is not valid.” when opening the file in Excel on OS X.

To solve the problem, simply make sure all data is enclosed with quotes.

Ex: ‘ID’,’First Name’, ‘Last Name’

Found this on Microsoft’s website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
