Now that I've shown you I can use fancy words, let's recap the news from the past few days. They encompass (I'm on fire) news from the TuneTracker camp, ZETA camp and even the coming back of a site which has been in hibernation.

As for TuneTracker Systems, they's (un)officially announced a new product named ToneTracker. ToneTracker is a "Broadcast Tools Switcher Package", meaning you will now be able to select from several audio sources, sattelite, other feeds, etc. This tool will give the broadcaster a bigger control over the broadcast, opening new possibilities. They can do manual or even automated switching. There will be three packages available: ToneTracker 4, 8 and 16, allowing to switch between the respective number of stereo sources. Each comes with the switchable, which is rack-mountable. Check it all out over at the ToneTracker page.

From the ZETA world, they've updated their ZETA-OS site with a listing of the development progress they've been making. In this first update they cover MultiUser (one of biggest progress made is that no reboot is required for new users to be recognized), the IntelExtreme gfx driver, MakeMe updates and more pthreads work. Check it out.

As for the website comeback. Remember ZetaNews? I received this morning an e-mail from Frans letting me know that they've resuscitated the site. As of today (or tomorrow, depends on their DNS being updated), you can again visit the site and read some news, posted either by Frans or Joyce.

Last but definitely not least, Kian (aka MYOB), being the self-promoter, narcissistic irish that he is, wrote a news piece about his work on the latest VLC 0.8.6-test1 that he published, for everyone to test. This new version brings, among others, playback of WMV9 files along with Flash8 and Flash9 files. Soon a test2a build will be available for some more testing.
