Disable the ATT Startup Video on the 8525 Pocket PC
With the new AT&T firmware version for the 8525 they added an annoyingly loud startup video. To disable it use a Registry editor and change the following key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled
from 1 to 0.
Reboot your 8525 and the animation should be gone.
SVN Error 301 Moved Permanently
This excerpt from the SVN Book solved my problem:
I can see my repository in a web browser, but ‘svn checkout’ gives me an error about “301 Moved Permanently”. What’s wrong?
It means your httpd.conf is misconfigured. Usually this error happens when you’ve defined the Subversion virtual “location” to exist within two different scopes at the same time.
For example, if you’ve exported a repository as <Location /www/foo>, but you’ve also set your DocumentRoot to be /www, then you’re in trouble. When the request comes in for /www/foo/bar, apache doesn’t know whether to find a real file named /foo/barDocumentRoot, or whether to ask mod_dav_svn to fetch a file /bar from the /www/foo repository. Usually the former case wins, and hence the “Moved Permanently” error. within your
The solution is to make sure your repository <Location> does not overlap or live within any areas already exported as normal web shares.
It’s also possible that you have an object in the web root which has the same name as your repository URL. For example, imagine your web server’s document root is /var/www and your Subversion repository is located at /home/svn/repo. You then configure Apache to serve the repository at http://localhost/myrepo. If you then create the directory /var/www/myrepo/ this will cause a 301 error to occur.
