Greg Olsen - Yellow Duck Guy -The Yellow Duck will sort it out .. November 25 jQueryPad"jQueryPad is a fast JavaScript and HTML editor. Just start it, enter the HTML you want to work with, bash in your jQuery code, and hit F5 to see the results. Say goodbye to ALT+TAB."
"jQueryPad is xcopy deployable. It's written in WPF and uses the Web Browser Control to embed Internet Explorer for testing the script. When you press F5, the HTML and JavaScript are combined into one file and rendered. The template also references jQuery, so the jQuery functions are available."
See: http://www.paulstovell.com/jquerypad for more information.

Enjoy!

Yellow Duck Guy September 24 CRM 4.0 - Change Notes or Activities of an EntityWhen you create an entity with CRM 4.0 you will make a decision to allow Notes or Activities for the given entity as shown below.
Out of the box with CRM 4.0 this section shown above is greyed out once the entity is created, which means it cannot be changed. However, I have a solution which allows you to change this without having to delete the entity and all your hard work in order to change it. Follow the steps below to change the Notes or Activities for your entity (Note: This is NOT supported, so only do this at your own risk):
<HasRelatedNotes>True</HasRelatedNotes> The values inside these two attributes indicate if the entity should have Notes or Activities. Set each one to True if you require them, otherwise False to not allow them for the entity.
Easy! Now that must save you a lot of work. Remember this is NOT supported, so only do this at your own risk. However I have done this in the past will successful results. Greg Olsen September 08 North Shore .NET User Group - VS2010 & TFS2010 - What's New?INAUGURAL NORTH SHORE USERGROUP

Windows 7 RTM - this is the final release of Windows 7.
The last release, build 7100 was known as the Release Candidate i.e. Windows 7 RC. Before this release we were given the beta. This was build 7000. Now the RTM has been signed off by Steven Sinofsky for Release To Manufacturing (RTM). We will see this roll out to the public around October 22nd. All new Windows PC's being sold from October 22nd should be shipped with Windows 7. Well if they aren't, they should be Windows 7 ready.
Windows 7 should be a vast improvement on it's predecessor Windows Vista. Anyone who has used Windows Vista will be happy to see the opportunity of moving off that operating system and move to the more improved Windows 7.
Windows 7 early codename was Blackcomb, which was then renamed to Vienna in early 2006, and again to Windows 7 in 2007. Then in 2008, we heard that Windows 7 would also become the official name of the operating system
