Step ONE: Export Your Contacts to a CSV file

1. After you are logged into LinkedIn, click on Contacts at the top menu,
2. On that page, towards the bottom, you’ll see a link that says “Export Contacts.”  Click that.
3. From that page you simply follow the process… I leave it as the default file format (there are three csv options – it really doesn’t matter which one you choose).

That’s it – it is really that easy to export your contacts from LinkedIn!  The hardest part of this is knowing where your file was saved to… but you should know how to find it.

Step TWO: Clean and prepare the file

1. Open the csv file in Excel.
2. Optional:  I delete all of the columns with blank data.  I just did checked… right now there are FIFTY FIVE(!) columns that had a header but no data… delete all of these.
3. Optional, but easier to do it here than one-by-one in JibberJobber: I go through the first and last names and clean them up.  I take out things like middle initial, acronyms, email addresses (from those fields), etc.  I simply want a first and last name.  This is the most time-consuming part of the process.
4. Optional, but HIGHLY recommended: Add a few other fields, including Tags (LinkedIn allows you to tag contacts, but they don’t export them), Notes (they have a Notes column, but no data in it), Source (I always put LI_Import as the source, for every single record, to know where that record came from), Ranking, and anything else you want to import.

Changing the Outlook settings

To leave messages on the server, you will:

• Open the Advanced settings window for your mail account
• Change the length of time that Outlook 2010 stores messages on the server.

1. Start the Microsoft Outlook program.

Use the Start menu to start Outlook.

When it opens, click the File tab and select the account for your e-mail address if it’s not already chosen:

2. Click “Account Settings”.

After making sure your e-mail address is selected, click the Account Settings button to open the settings window:

3. Choose the account and click “Change”.

Make sure your e-mail address is selected, then click Change.

4. The “Change Account” window opens.

Click the More Settings button:

5.The “Internet E-mail Settings” window appears.

Choose the Advanced tab.

In the “Advanced” tab, make sure that Leave a copy of messages on the server is checked. Then change the “14” to the number of days you want to leave messages on our servers:

You can also uncheck the Remove from server after X days checkbox completely — but if you leave messages on the server forever, it can eventually slow down your mail connections and use up your disk space allowance. So we recommend choosing a number of days that’s long enough that you’ll be able to read the messages in your other mail program (or Webmail). In terms of performance, even using a large number such as 365 days is better than not checking this box.

If you check Remove from server when deleted from ‘Deleted Items’, the messages will be deleted when you delete them in Outlook. This may be useful if you’re trying to keep your Webmail box (sort-of) in sync with Outlook without using IMAP, but you shouldn’t choose it if you’re leaving messages on our servers to be backed up.

5. Click OK to close the “Internet E-mail Settings” window.

After you close the “Internet E-mail Settings” window, the “Change Account” screen will still be visible.

6. Test the settings.

Click Next. Outlook will test the settings, then should tell you that “all tests completed successfully”:

If Outlook tells you a test failed, double-check to be sure you’ve entered the settings correctly.

If the “Test Account Settings” window is still open, close it to continue.

Enable the remi repository

The remi repository provides a variety of up-to-date packages that are useful or are a requirement for many popular web-based services. That means it generally is not a bad idea to enable the remi repositories by default.

First, open the /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo repository file using a text editor of your choice:

sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
Edit the [remi] portion of the file so that the enabled option is set to 1. This will enable the remi repository.

name=Les RPM de remi pour Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch
#baseurl=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/mirror
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
failovermethod=priority

Login as the root user

Type the following command to install ntp
# yum install ntp

Turn on service
# chkconfig ntpd on

Synchronize the system clock with pool.ntp.org server:
# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org

Start the NTP:
# /etc/init.d/ntpd start
