Meanwhile, the other sun has again been flaring at us. Perhaps this time more people will be able to see an aurora. The new eruption will reach the Earth today.

Update: The storm caused by the flare's impact seems to have rapidly weakened. There were no power blackouts but unfortunately no widely visible aurora as well. The components in the flare were pointing northwards. Had they pointed south, then we could have found ourselves in a lot more trouble.

Something that is going to be abandoned indefinitely is the English translation of Technoids Magazine. It turns out that in regard to Technoids he was spending more time translating the articles rather than writing them, without ever getting any feedback on the English magazine, which made him wonder what on Earth he was doing. I'm sorry to hear that, Matthias.
The German version of Technoids Magazine still exists of course, although it's going to be a little bit different from the previous editions. Matthias has written ideas for a new concept, which involves limiting the magazine to a maximum of 40 pages, and improving the magazine's structure, by putting each section on a fixed place within the magazine.
And lastly, BeGroovy returns! It has been quite silent around the once so very active news site, but it now states to be returning. Welcome back!

Major update is the added TNT overlay, which has worked flawlessly on his TNT1, TNT2 and TNT2-M64 cards. The only downside is that it doesn't support downscaling.
As he also briefly mentioned in the aforementioned interview, he still has not been able to solve the CRTC-timing issue with the GeForce FX5600 cards.
Lastly, he can really use your help if you have a yet unsupported card (such as the brand new FX5700 and FX5950 cards). If you do, please do not hesitate to contact him at info.be-hold at inter dot NL dot net. He will greatly appreciate it, and you may get your card fully working under BeOS.
Zeta hits shelves November 3rd!

Towards the end, Thomas Kurschel clarifies his ideas for the new driver architecture he is designing for OpenBeOS (OBOS). These ideas were first announced at BeGeistert as well. My personal view on it is that it's exactly what BeOS is all about: it's so simple and yet very smart and sophisticated. I love it.
I swear, no more video card interviews for now ;-) Happy reading with this one!
