A funny thing happened to me last week.  What started out as a typical lunch with friends took a completely and unforeseen turn to the unbelievable.
It all started as I headed to lunch with three friends at one of our favorite eateries.
Not quite half way there, I noticed a rather warm sensation developing on my [...]

I was just watching a show on the Science Channel where they showed the guys who ride bicycles downhill on a snow-covered mountain.
One guy had just achieved his personal best of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN FREAKING MILES AN HOUR.  On a bicycle.  In the snow.  And did I mention down the side of a mountain?  [...]

Open Notepad and create a file that looks like this:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" >
  <ItemGroup>
    <Item Include="*/**" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>
  
Note: If you copy and paste [...]

The more you get into MSCRM development, the more you will probably realize that you are writing quite a bit of JavaScript to control various aspects of the CRM Client experience.  As most programmers find, the more code you write, the more you write code.  You also start developing a code library containing your most often used functions [...]

Ben Vollmer has written an excellent article describing how to create a pseudo many-to-many relationship within MSCRM 3.0.

I'm really not a techno-geek like a lot of my friends, but this watch is pretty cool:

Visit The Talus Watches for a demo.
