I started using Wesabe to (try) to manage my accounts, the only problem is that my bank (Caixa Geral de Depósitos), won’t support any of the formats used by Wesabe… There is also the problem that Wesabe is going to be discontinued, but since it is going to be released as open-source, I thought this might get handy for someone out there…
And make the appearance of a decent Android app easier (we hope )
Luckily for us mjvm made a fantastic script that turns all the process into a breeze, which is turning the csv file into a qif one.
This script converts the CSV provided by CGD (CAIXA GERAL DE DEPOSITOS)
home banking system to a QIF format so the it can be imported to personal
finance systems.
It was tested only on wesabe (http://www.wesabe.com/).
USAGE
—–
./csv2qif.py statment.csv
or
python csv2qif.py statment.csv
the result will be save in a statment.qif file in the same directory as the csv file.
I recently needed to set-up UltraVPN on my mac and thought someone else might need it.
For those who don’t know UltraVPN, it’s a free VPN service based in France, website here. Ignore the certificate error.
Beforehand let me tell you that the config files were obtained from the forums, so I did nothing at all.
So, moving on. First download and install Tunnelbrick, and then download there configuration files here.
Extract and copy the files to “Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations”.
Then create a free account at UltraVPN, using their website.
Afterwards you just have to select which connection you want to use in Tunnelbrick and login with your credentials and you are good to go.
NOTE: In my case, I had to deselect the “Set nameserver” option in Tunnelbrick for the DNS to work properly. You can find that option in the “Details” menu.
(I am almost sure the following step is unnecessary, but not sure)
Type at the terminal: sudo port install py25-m2crypto
After this there was still a m2crypto error, so i downloaded this egg file, extracted it using Stuffit Expander (this is like a zip file as far as I understand), and copied the contents to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages , getting something like this screenshot.
Then I installed git (dont know if it is necessary, but it’s ok…):
Type at the terminal: sudo port install git-core
)
