Backup/Restore Android contacts on Windows or Linux

This post follows the previous one on how to Apply a custom ROM to a HAIWUEI U8650. Consider the following steps in order to Backup or Restore your contacts on an Android device. Have in mind that there are alternative ways to achieve this out there but I am showing one of them. This post favors owners of a HAUWEI U8650. It also shows a clever way to merge multiple vcf files together! There is also an alternative way at the end of the post.

Installing CentOS 5 on VMware Player (Windows 7)

Installing an operating system as a Virtual Machine sometimes is not as trivial as it seems. In this post I am explaining how to install CentOS 5 on the latest VMware Player, which is provided free, on Windows 7. This procedure may also be adapted for other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu or Mint. I will try to explain it in a way so that not so experienced users can follow too.

Vimportant experience

Did it happened to you too, to work on a code, upload it to the remote working machine, compile it and a syntax error appears? Instead of repeating the procedure for just a simple semicolon or space, Vim saves the day! For hardcore Linux users Vim is not something new. The point is that Vim is shortcut key based and it becomes a pain in the butt if you press different keys and another thing happens! This site though gives a clear and simple cheat sheet for Vim! It helped me a lot!
