Recently we started using Subversion in our office. We are using VisualSVN Server because it has a nice administration interface, where we can manage user and their rights.

TortoiseSVN is an awesome subversion client, but to have subversion features integrated to our Visual Studio IDE we found two useful plugins VisualSVN and AnkhSVN.

Since AnkhSVN is free and it stable (at least for me) we preferred using it.

The Problem

When you open a project from Subversion repository AnkhSVN will prompt you to authenticate (If you have turned on security in your subversion repository). Once you enter your username and password and check the save password it will not prompt again.

Now what if you change your password? I googled about this for two days but didn’t find any solution. Luckily today my boss found this.

The Solution

The authentication data is saved to the following directories

%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.ssl.server
%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.simple

Deleting all the files inside these folders will solve the problem. After deleting these files AnkhSVN will prompt you for username and password once again.

I am currently writing a small Visual Studio Add-in that will help you clear these information from within Visual Studio.

The Esnips Link Generator Is Here

Yesterday I read a post in esnips forum claiming that IndianRaga has used his ideas to create his esnips link generator and has not given him credits.

So before anyone else hops in and claims that I have used his ideas to create the link generator, I will explain why and how did I create my link generator.

One of my friend Saurabh from esnips who read my previous post about esnips download trick told me that the old tricks are not working anymore. So I fired firefox navigated to esnips tried the previous nsdoc trick, it didn’t work.

I then looked into the source and found script reference to the javascript file that contained methods to create the MP3 Widget (Link : http://res1.esnips.com/3rd/media/music12.js)
It contains definition for two type of mp3 widget
