To test what color works on your Vim, you can type this on an open Vim session:
:e $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/colortest.vim :so %
To actually change certain syntax color, you need to Google your way out 
One example is to change the color for a comment:
hi Comment ctermfg=blue
To back up your SVN repository:
svnadmin dump path_to_svn_repo > backup_filename tar cfz backup_filename.tgz backup_filename
Then to restore the SVN dump somewhere else:
tar xfvz backup_filename.tgz svnadmin create new_svn_repo svnadmin load new_svn_repo < backup_filename
I found it annoying working with tabs as different system has different spacing for tabs. So I usually like to replace tabs with spaces. In Vim, you can do this by adding this line to your ~/.vimrc :
set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 expandtab
’set expandtab’ here means that you want to use soft tabs instead.
If you find a file that uses all tabs instead of space, Vim also provides a convenient way to convert those tabs. First ensure that ’set expandtab’ is set, then you can type the command:
:%retab
Sir Ken Robinson is author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative, and a leading expert on creativity, innovation and human resources. In this talk, he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
By the way, he’s coming to UBC Vancouver campus where I’m studying on September 30. I’m hoping to attend his talk.

I’m excited to introduce my own blog that I have wished to setup for a long time now. In this blog I will mainly talk about interesting things relating to programming (e.g. tips, how to’s), technology, my hobbies including photography, and spiced up with bits of latest interesting news/articles.
