or actually, a finger. Back.
About a year and a half ago, I stuck my left middle-finger into a very large piece of woodworking equipment and lopped off the left corner. Very irritating, let me tell you.
Anyway, my body reconfigured the nerves at the end of the finger during the healing process and I lost the sensation at the very tip. In case you've never thought about it, a touch-typist needs to feel their finger in order for them to know what key it is resting on and hitting while typing.
I used to type about a billion words a minute, but no more.
While my finger was on vacation, I trained my left index finger to do the work of the middle finger. This was not exactly a smooth transition and it drives me crazy. As an example, I type the last word in the previous sentence as follows: finged, figer, finget, finger.
This has reduced my typing to around a million words a minute. Way too slow for my taste, and productivity.
I also have most of the sensation back in the tip of my finger so I guess this week I'll start retraining my hand to work as it did before.
Wish me luxk. :)
Ronald Lemmen published two really neat tricks for developers, CRM or otherwise.
The first deals with obtaining the FetchXML code used by CRM internally to perform searches using the Advanced Find feature. This is really great because it will save CRM developers tons of time. Instead of creating the query by hand, you can utilize CRM itself to create and test the query, then take the FetchXML code used by the query and integrate it into your own code.
Ronald's second tip can be used by just about anyone using Microsoft Windows:
But with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 you can copy all text on the popup by clicking somewhere on the popup (not on the button "OK" of course) and pressing ctrl+c.
This copies the contents of the MessageBox to the clipboard. You can then paste the code into any other program you wish.
As an example, here is what happens when you perform the above operation on the following MessageBox:
—————————
Notepad
—————————
The text in the Untitled file has changed.
Do you want to save the changes?
—————————
Yes No Cancel
—————————
Is that no cool or what?
