Hi everyone,
To tell the truth, I'm a little envious of some HCM city (Saigon) geeks' activities, especially about Barcamp Saigon 1 and their #H3 :(. What about in Hanoi? Just correct me if I'm wrong but it seem there
Today is one of the most active day of mine :). With the opensocial hackathon in Hanoi, I have chance to meet some interesting people.
My morning started in 9 A.M (OMG!!! But it's my normal day; I don't know why but I'd really like to work at late night. Yesterday, I stopped working at about 4 A.M. It's hard to define my work :). Just do everything with computer: blogging, building some requested websites from customers, experimenting new technology trend, improve programming skill, oh many more. Just my habit :).
Good news to Hanoi developers! As we know, Google DevFest HCMC - The First Ever Google Hackathon Tour in Vietnam (November 4, 2008) did succeed, BarCamp Saigon (November 5, 2008) did succeed.
This contest is only for 5 SE Asia countries: Singapore, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Thailand, and Vietnam. All developers from these 5 countries can take part in. Entries are limited to three per person.

- Creativity and user appeal
- Internationalization (Message Bundles)

It's been only a few days since Google released its Chrome browser, and security researchers are still digging into the software in search of the first few flaws.
A company in Vietnam has turned up the latest vulnerability in Chrome, according to a story posted to Information Week's Web site. Bach Khoa Internet Security says that the Chrome 0.2.149.27 release is susceptible to a critical buffer-overflow flaw, which could allow a remote attacker to take control of a PC. BKIS says it has reported the vulnerability to Google.
Vietnam is tipped to become a more popular outsourcing destination than both China and India within the next five years.
The bold claim has been made by recruitment company Harvey Nash, which recently acquired Ho Chi Minh-based recruitment business SilkRoad for $1.8 million.
Harvey Nash cited the fact that Vietnam has the second-highest gross domestic product growth after China and that it's now the third-largest offshore-services destination in Southeast Asia.
Contrary to popular belief, you can't pick up a pirated DVD of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on this city's streets within five minutes.
First, the Vietnamese street vendors don't categorize their movies, so relatively recent films such as "Vanilla Sky," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Moulin Rouge" are mixed in with "The Big Sleep" and the famed "Red," "White" and "Blue" trilogy from Krzysztof Kieslowski.
