This is incredibly relevant to me now. We’re soon to be buying a house, and I’ve had a hard time finding resources on things to think about when laying the bones of a landscape.
This is the best information on that topic I’ve found by far.

I’m glad you found some good useful info, hope you stick around and find some other great stuff.

...Development Trivial Pursuit: The difference between MVC and the different flavors of MVP
Thu, 11/01/2007 - 02:12 — AnonymousYou can happily go your entire career without knowing the textbook definitions of either pattern and churn out working software. On the off chance that you're training for some sort of Coding Trivial Pursuit, here's my shot at explaining the difference. My new teamate and I had a discussion a couple weeks back on design patterns for user interface and he was using the terms MVP and MVC interchangeably. Being the obnoxious pedant that I am, I told him that they weren't quite the same thing, but had to run to the train before I could explain. Later, the discussion became a little more serious as we got into the details of our system. My new coworker is familiar with the Passive View approach to Model View Presenter (MVP) and was trying to frame the implementation of his new feature in those terms. For a variety of reasons I've followed a Supervising Controller pattern in our WinForms client. ...
Cannot convert local time to universal time
Mon, 11/05/2007 - 22:10 — AnonymousI have this game I play. It's called "Make blog posts for error messages no-one else has ever seen".
This is the latest for MS CRM 3.0.
There is an error in XML document (1, 1523). ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Cannot convert local time to universal time;
There is ONE user in the CRM instance who cannot view their service calendar, and this is the message she gets in the CRM log
Config: Server set to NZ time. User time zone is Brazil (GMT -3) when it fails. It works if she sets her time zone to NZ (GMT+13)
AND if she sets it to Buenos Aires also (GMT-3). SO I'm guessing there is a time zone /daylight savings issue.
Determining the PrivUserGroup CRM is using.
Mon, 11/05/2007 - 21:10 — AnonymousThis was a fun little exercise.
As it turns out,
SELECT [OrganizationId]
,[UserGroupId]
,[PrivilegeUserGroupId]
FROM [dbo].[OrganizationBase]
Will get you the information you need.
We needed to find this out due to a couple of aborted installs on the same machine, since CRM creates the PrivUserGroup each time it installs unless told to use a specific existing group.
The group name includes the GUID you find in OrganisationID. The PrivilegeUserGroupId is the objectGUID in the AD.
As an interesting aside, the binary vs string formatting of GUIDs is a little weird
{01020304-0506-0708-090A-0B0C0D0E0F00} in binary format is:
04030201060508070A09000D0E0D0C0B
