Alternative thinking to "forgiving yourself"

http://www.biblestudytools.com/blogs/association-of-biblical-counselors/when-you-can-t-forgive-yourself.html
Realize we're not God, and need to let go of perfectionism.

Move to repentance - what about my attitudes and approach would avoid me making the same mistake again in the future? If none, then let go.

Really? In order to get the different font weights...

You have to specify them in the link URL:
  1. @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900);  

  2. body {  
  3.     font-family'Source Sans Pro', serif;  
  4.     font-size14px;  
  5. }  
  6.   
  7. .wiki-content strong {  
  8.  font-weight900;  
  9. }  

Great Google configurator page to help you understand how to customize right weights and get that into the URL.

How I figured out what invisible character to cut


  • Copy paste character to own line in Excel
  • Then used function =CODE(targetCellRef)
  • Then used: =TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A4,CHAR(202),CHAR(32)))
  • https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Remove-spaces-and-nonprinting-characters-from-text-023f3a08-3d56-49e4-bf0c-fe5303222c9d
To get it working in VBA script I used:

temp1 = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Rng.Value, Chr(202), Chr(32))

Rng.Value = VBA.Trim(temp1)

Great AI article in the NY Times

Le gave me a good-natured hard time for my continual requests for a mental picture of these maps. “Gideon,” he would say, with the blunt regular demurral of Bartleby, “I do not generally like trying to visualize thousand-dimensional vectors in three-dimensional space.”

How to remove Outlook app from Android

http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6/527413-how-can-i-remove-outlook-app-my-s6-samsung.html
So I found out exactly how to do this. It took me a few minutes to figure out what tncool was saying but do this:

  • Settings
  • Lock screen and security
  • Other security settings
  • Device administrators

And in Device administrators you need to unselect Outlook. Once you've done this you can remove Outlook from your device the usual way.

Figured out FileMaker Pro sorting "bug", delete in portal

I was loading the script for the action OnLayoutLoad, but I needed to run it on OnRecordLoad so it also triggered after a search was performed.

Also to allow deletion of a record in the portal you have to right click on a portal, go to Portal Setup..., and choose Allow Deletion of Portal Records.
