PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Grisbi Revisited, Part 3 Importing Other File Formats
series, I decided to try importing all of my checkbook data into Grisbi. Grisbi currently supports the following file import formats: CSV (Comma Separated Values), QIF (Quicken Interchange Format), Gnucash (.gnucash) and OFX (Open Financial Exchange).
My trial involved importing files from an assortment of the finance apps I have used: GnuCash, HomeBank, Skrooge, KMyMoney, Money Manager Ex and Eqonomize.
Later, I experimented with downloading recent transactions from my online banking website in QFX and CSV format, then importing them into Grisbi. Although I learned from previous experience that bank downloads will not streamline my personal data entry, I still wanted to see how Grisbi would handle bank-generated files.

[Old] Exotic Silicon ☛ Backup strategies - keeping data safe on tape, (or optical disc)
There's a good chance that the machine you are currently using to read this webpage contains a lot of your own valuable work. Whether that's photos or videos or even just plain old boring work stuff, you'd probably be lost if suddenly it wasn't there.
Have you backed it up? If not, shame on you! But for those who smugly answered, "yes!", just how sure are you of your backup strategy? Have you ever needed to restore anything? Have you tested it? How quickly can you get back up and running after disaster inevitably strikes? Have you covered all bases? What about slow, silent data corruption over the long term?
Hummm, see? It's not as simple and straightforward as it might seem. So let's dive right in and discuss the do's and don'ts of backup strategies.

Matt Birchler ☛ RSS and acid, name a more iconic duo
(Not that this is a debate, but I love RSS because it puts me in control of what I choose to follow along with, not social media shares or algorithms. In my book, RSS readers are wonderfully pure, and my seeming unfair advantage here is that I never see my feeds as todo lists, and if I ever don’t have the time or energy to see it all, I just “mark all as read” and move on with my life. No guilt!)
