			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been helping a servant of Jesus Christ living in Cape Town to promote one of the books that he have written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We have worked for a while to get a website up and running to promote the book called: &#8220;Be FREE of DEBT.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you are experiencing a financial struggle then this book will help you learn financial principles to get out of your money struggle. It&#8217;s might not be the easiest route to take but it&#8217;s worth it. You can then in turn teach these principles to your own family and friends to help them also if they are struggling financially.</p>
<p>Please visit <a title="www.endyourmoneyworries.co.za" href="http://www.endyourmoneyworries.co.za" target="_blank">www.endyourmoneyworries.co.za</a> to read more about the book and the author of the book.</p>
<p>Please be advised that there is no quick fixes for financial freedom, it takes time to reach it if you do it the right way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a simple barcode generator that I have written in Java. It creates a text file and populate it with the barcode numbers, if the number already exist in the text file, a new one is generated. You will then be prompted to select a printer to print to. It will print a total of 36 barcodes per page. I hope that some of you will enjoy this: <a title="Java Barcode Generator" href="http://kobusbeets.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JBarCodeGenerator.zip" target="_blank">http://kobusbeets.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JBarCodeGenerator.zip</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following code is something great that I have learned today. You can access more than one database with the CodeIgniter php framework without editing to much lines. Consider the code below: Within the application/config/database.php config file you can add more that one set of database parameters.</p>
<pre>
//database parameter set 1
$db['01']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['01']['username'] = 'root';
$db['01']['password'] = '';
$db['01']['database'] = 'multi_01';

//database parameter set 2
$db['02']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['02']['username'] = 'root';
$db['02']['password'] = '';
$db['02']['database'] = 'multi_02';
</pre>
<p><br/><br />
You can then create database variables for each of the databases that you want to access</p>
<pre>
//calling database parameter set 1
$this->db01 = $this->load->database('01', true);

//calling database parameter set 2
$this->db02 = $this->load->database('02', true);
</pre>
<p><br/><br />
And then by using those created variables, you can get data from those databases.<br />
* Note: I am using the active records methods *</p>
<pre>
//getting all users from database db01
$database_1_results = $this->db01->get('users');

//getting categories with the user id 1 from db02
$uid = 1;
$database_2_results = $this->db02->get_where('cats', array('uid'=>$uid));
</pre>

<p>The method, as I used it, will return 1 USD in ZAR.<br />
