News

  • Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic CRM Blog, formerly owned and operated by Ben Vollmer, a CRM legend ;). My name is Chris Kahl and Ben has asked me to take over the care and feeding of this most valuable resource. Like Ben, my job is to help partners and customers with Microsoft CRM in the Eastern US. This blog is a great and searchable information source. Feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed to stay current with Dynamics CRM. Any tools discussed here are for DEMO only. You should NOT use these in a production environment unless you test them. Microsoft Support DOES NOT support these tools. Everything here is provided as-is with no warranty.
Some of the new toys I have been playing with...

This post is NOT CRM related at all. Sorry. But here are some cool tools I have been playing with recently that I recommend you check out. :-)

  1. Windows Live Search Mobile. This app is WAY cool. Saves my bacon at least once a day. I wish it also did regular web searches, but the types of searches it does do, it rocks at. You can download it right to your phone from the web, which was cool as I rarely tether my phone to my PC. :-) http://wls.live.com  is the URL for it.
  2. As anybody who calls me can tell you, I HATE Voicemail. With a passion. I have been forwarding my cell phone voicemail to CallWave and they email it to me in the form of a WAV file AND I have a slick Vista Gadget that allows you to see all of the missed calls and listen to and delete voicemail right from the Sidebar. http://www.CallWave.com/landing/products.asp
  3. Gadgets. I have been using them in demo's for a couple of weeks. WAY cool. If you want the basics of writing Gadgets, check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sidebar/sidebar/overviews/gdo.asp

Back to our regular CRM stuff now. :-)

Here's a working gadget to display MSCRM accounts and contacts, by "working" I mean not just screenshots! :)
