RMIT Diary

Thanks to the Xmas, a reddy theme has been released by Smashing magazine. I noticed that its color scheme perfectly suits business clus’ website. The layout should be ready after some minnor modifications.

After a few days trying, I now have a working Vietnamese keyboard driver for my lovely Linux box. This moment is really meaningful to me because now I can make a full switch to an open source platform.
PS: My laptop is now running on Fedora Core 10 with x-unikey as the Vietnamese keyboard driver. The [...]

The Business Club’s web system, which is being planned, must be up and running by the next semester. The choice of programming language and framework is now a big question. I am considering the followings:
1. CakePHP/PHP
2. Struts/Java
3. Ruby on Rails/Ruby
Whereas RoR can help building the system in shortest amount of time, J2EE offers highest flexibility, [...]

RMIT University is ranked 200th in overall yet 94th in technology worldwide. This also means that Information Technology is probably the best among the programs that RMIT Vietnam offers. However, the majority of students of RMIT Vietnam choose Commerce or Business, not IT or Design program. Why not?
I think there have been so many misconceptions [...]

As Joe told me, RMIT Vietnam does not have a Unix specialist to maintain its server. A few days ago, I figured out a critical security hole in RMIT unix server that enabled any student to access other’s “H: drive” without permission. The problem was reported to the ITS department and was fixed just in time.

Today, I met Areum the first time at the new canteen. She didn’t notice that I was Thoai until I called her number while we walked to classes. I also discovered that Tung and Huy are in the same presentation group and that Yen and Huy are schoolmates in high school.
Tung looks so old whereas [...]

It is a great honour for me to be the second writer of this diary.
Just one hour ago, I had no idea about what this blog is for. Now, my adopted brother makes me be member of this blog.
Anyway, as Thoai has posted, I hope this blog will become a small community within RMIT students, [...]

Yesterday was a great day I have ever had in my university life at RMIT Vietnam and in my life as a member of RMIT Business Club. It was Career Day that gave me so many memorial moments not only with my teammates but also with people I assisted as my responsibility.
The day started uncommon [...]

Today is December 5th, the day I call “free day”. On this day every year, I write to a complete stranger who I want to get friend with yet do not have a reason.
This year, I wrote a letter to Areum, a Korean student who does not even know my name.
Let’s wait to see what [...]

Winter is coming…
People say it is cold yet romantic…
I do not really know whether it is a season for me. But right now, I feel so empty. Am in need of a hug, or a hand hold, or both.
Just a few months ago, I wished I had someone to think about. Now, I do. Yet [...]
