Tech note: Android ROM flashing

All this information is particular for the Proximus Magic 32A particular, but it will still give you an overview of how the procedure actually works.

Searching on the web there are a lot of custom Android ROM images out there, but not a single website seems to give a highlevel overview of how the flashing procedure actually works. Understand first that flashing your ROM will void your warranty. Also, if something goes wrong in the process you might end up bricking your phone. This is just a checklist and a reminder-to-self, not a fool-proof procedure. It doesn't -for example- include backing up your settings (for which you can use Nandroid). USE WITH CAUTION!

Tech note: Git patches and rebasing

So, last Friday while working on Freesound 2, I stumbled upon an interesting problem I need to solve using git. The problem is as follows: say you have a clone of a public git url (for example http://github.com/bram/freesound). Now, you're making changes in this repository and at some point you want these changes back into the origin repository.
