Unchanging end of heroine, emperor or magician. (11)

Constantine? 
Unchanging - "Constant"
End of heroine - "ine"
"Constantine" - a Roman emporer

Correct, Constantine is also a magician (or possibly 'petty dabbler in the dark arts')?
It's your turn tomorrow.

The problem:
Let's say you decide to use a boring meeting to clean up your contact list in your smartphone. You usually sync your phone with your PC Outlook contact list using an external program, with the conflict resolution rule "The last being changed wins". No confirmation pop-up windows (too time-consuming), no data backup (these are for sissies).
What I did:
1. Clean up the contacts in my phone contact list
2. Wipe the contact list in Outlook, since it got cluttered with automatically added contacts, and some contacts appeared twice or thrice due to bad synchronisation, etc...
3. Sync Phone and PC to get the cleaned up list in both PC and phone.
Result:
*big facepalm*

You doubled them again ?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I wish ! Since the last action was to remove them from Outlook, it also removed them from the phone... So I lost about all my contacts.

Don't worry, if you are using an iThingy, you can still find them on the internet. 
Maybe not a great joke (if at all!), but seriously, didn't you back them up?
I have written a small set of utilities to backup/copy all important* data from my phone to PC and personally I do not use any other Sync software at all.
I love my HTC Touch with Windows Mobile 6.1. 
* No, that doesn't include selfies, as I don't take any.

FTFY!
Check your "generic" backups: mine is set to copy my Outlook.pst file, so you may have a copy of your contacts in there, even if it isn't quite current.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I just found out that Outlook actually copies deleted contacts to the recycle bin, so I could retrieve most of them. (Why didn't I think about that first place *facepalm number 2*)
Anyway, it was maybe not a bad thing to press the "Reset all friends"

That's remarkably...helpful...for a Microsoft product!
Normally they just laugh and say "well, I did ask if you wanted to do that..."

Mmmhhh... There is no "restore" options, and moving them out of the recycle bin to the contact folder just created ... one contact containing all the deleted  . I need to investigate that a bit further... I think Microsoft is just laughing and saying "Eh boy, you ignored the warnings, we saverd your b**t, but you will not go away with it that easily".

I'm using Outlook 2010, if I select all deleted contacts in the Mail | Deleted Items folder and right-click and select Move to Other Folder and select Contacts, it moves them individually as before.

You have friends? Wow!

Nagy, he said contacts, not friends, let's be realistic here! 
Oops, my bad, I just read Quote: Reset all friends
The list may have been empty, of course?

Out with the old, in with the new. Find some new contacts.
