		<description><![CDATA[For those who love.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (The Bible, 1 Cor 13:4-8)</p></blockquote>
<p>What is love? Is it a feeling or a choice? Is it selfish or selfless? What are the boldest examples of love that you know?</p>
<p>I am releasing this wallpaper to everyone to share with their love or to put it up as a reminder about the loved one. Treasure your love and make it last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr />
<p>What is <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" title="Twitter's bootstrap" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a>?</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" title="Twitter's bootstrap" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a> is a toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart development of webapps and sites.<br />
It includes base CSS and HTML for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, and more.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" title="Twitter's bootstrap" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a> is <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#less" title="Read about using Bootstrap with Less">built with Less</a> and was designed to work out of the gate with modern browsers in mind.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" title="Twitter's bootstrap" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a> provides and makes available to use commonly used elements of Web Design such as :</p>
<ul>
<li>Forms</li>
<li>Buttons</li>
<li>Grid layout</li>
<li>Buttons</li>
<li>Tables</li>
<li>Navigation</li>
<li>Typography</li>
</ul>
<p>and lots of other useful pieces that you might need while developing a web application.</p>
<p>You can take a look at Bootstrap and what elements it provides here :<br />
<a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" title="Twitter's bootstrap" target="_blank">http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap</a></p>
<p>Bootstrap is also on GitHub and please be sure to read their FAQ and <a href="https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/wiki/Roadmap" title="Bootstrap Roadmap - responsive is coming in 2.0" target="_blank">Roadmap</a>.</p>
<p>One of the upcoming features that excite me the most &#8211; responsive HTML 5 layout.</p>
<p>Tools that are helpful when creating with Twitter&#8217;s Bootstrap:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.martinbean.co.uk/bootstrap-generator/" target="_blank">http://www.martinbean.co.uk/<wbr>bootstrap-generator/</wbr></a></p>
<p><a href="http://makeusabrew.github.com/bootbox/demo/">http://makeusabrew.github.com/bootbox/demo/</a></p>
<p>There are also WordPress Themes that use Bootstrap as a base and also plugins that provide some of the Bootstrap&#8217;s functionality.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a plugin for wordpress that implements Bootstrap CSS :</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-bootstrap-css/" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-bootstrap-css/</a></p>

<p>Websites that use Bootstrap Framework :</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people took to the Windows 7 phone market when it initially launched, but nowhere near the amount who leapt onto the iPhone bandwagon, laughing at other platforms as iOS became the most popular destination for applications on the market. However, there are remains a dedicated userbase, so let&#8217;s take a look at the statistics.</p>
<p><span id="more-549"></span></p>
<p>Gartner research states that in Q3 2009, 7.9% of smartphone users were using a Microsoft operating system on their smartphone. However, that number dropped to 2.8% in 2010, and 1.5% in 2011. That&#8217;s a pretty large drop in user numbers.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s worth bearing in mind that 2010 was the launch year of the Windows 7 Phone. But despite that, it&#8217;s still a good 5% drop or more to a market share of almost nothing. So what are Windows doing wrong?</p>
<p>Nothing much, is the answer &#8211; it&#8217;s just gone up against two operating systems who are dominant for different reasons With Android, it&#8217;s on your phone whether you&#8217;ve got a brand new Samsung from <a href="http://www.o2.co.uk/">O2</a> or a hand-me-down Motorola. It&#8217;s everywhere.</p>
<p>iOS on the other hand has the Apple style going for it. Ever since the iPod, Apple products have been the geek fashionista&#8217;s hardware of choice, and that will be the case for many years to come. Add to that iOS&#8217; dominance of mobile gaming, and its&#8217; difficult to figure out where your platform is going to fit in.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a shame, because Windows 7 phones are actually very clever beasts. With a sound GUI, nice apps and often, powerful hardware behind it, Windows 7 handsets are great phones for people who want something a little different. But whether they&#8217;ll still be on the market in another five years is debatable, and the same goes for RIM and Blackberry handsets &#8211; the world is hunting for the best and the brightest, and those failing to shine out of the starting gate or keeping up with newer platforms are swiftly going to fall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Flight Search is a tool to shop for flights and fares at a speed of thought.</p>
<p><span id="more-456"></span></p>
<p>I remember a couple years ago I was recommending all my friends a flight search on a small website called itasoftware.com. It would quickly output the best prices for fares even when you select many options and I used that service to book tickets to a few places. Who knew that two years later, the small company would be acquired by Google for 700 million dollars! (<a title="ita press release" href="http://www.google.com/press/ita/" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/press/ita/</a>)</p>
<p>I guess it was expected from Google to make use of this new acquisition so Google now has an amazing Flight search engine available for anyone to use when searching for US flights.</p>
<p>Check out the flight search just flies !<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m taking a database class at California State University, Fullerton. This class involves learning PHP and MySQL and I already had my first assignment posted. The assignment is to read a text file containing student names with scrambled IDs, output the contents of the file in chunks of 5 records each. This is simple but it is just a start of the semester.</p>
<p>You can view the finished program <a title="Database Class" href="http://ecs.fullerton.edu/~cs431a27/assignment1/" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<p>The main code of the PHP program follows (description of what the code does is marked by &#8220;//&#8221;) :</p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;?php
        // open and read the file
        $file = fopen(&quot;classlist.txt&quot;, &quot;r&quot;);
        while (!feof($file)) {
            $line_of_text .= fgets($file);
        }
        // create array &quot;students&quot; and put each row of the text file into individual student record
        $students = explode(&quot;n&quot;, $line_of_text);
        fclose($file);

	// further split the array, breaking each record into multiple fields (since there is ID, first and last name)
	foreach ($students as $key=&gt;$value){
		$students[$key] = explode(&quot;,&quot;, $value);
	}

	foreach ($students as $key =&gt; $row) {
			$id[$key]  = $row['id'];
			$first[$key] = $row['first'];
			$last[$key] = $row['last'];
	}

		// Sort the data with volume descending, edition ascending
		// Add $data as the last parameter, to sort by the common key
		array_multisort($id, SORT_ASC, $students);

		//define a function that will print a table row with the record fields
		function print_row($value) {
			print(&quot;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;$value[0]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;$value[2]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;$value[1]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;n&quot;);
		}

		// print a table header
		echo(&quot;&lt;table border=1&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;50&quot; /&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;CWID&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;First Name Middle Name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Last Name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;n&quot;);
		foreach ($students as $key=&gt;$value){

		// after every five records close the table and start a new one
			if (($key % 5 == 0)&amp;&amp; ($key != 0)) {
				print(&quot;&lt;/table&gt;n&lt;br /&gt;&quot;);
				print(&quot;&lt;table border=1&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;50&quot; /&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;col width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;CWID&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;First Name Middle Name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Last Name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;n&quot;);
			}
			print_row($students[$key]);

		}
		print(&quot;&lt;/table&gt;&quot;);
    ?&gt;
