A (serious) but funny piece of software as been posted by VyR Software on BeBits: ZSA (as in Zeta for Scientific Application). This application was started as a small university project and the first version of the software came out in 2006. But, you will ask, what is this application all about ? It seems the app’ “allows you to evaluate the results of a scanned body by MR and Voxel handling”. My comprehension is that it can handle and preview information as found in all kind of huge amount of 3D data models (like in a 3D scanner of some brain… :-)
Or your feets !
Today ZSA has become a R5 compatible application ready to be used as well in Haiku. The new version includes also some minor fixes and feature. More information on the software as well as on the philosophy behind VyR Software can be found at their place: http://vyrsoftware.blogspot.com/

Haiku Down Under 2008. Sikosis posted a blog entry about an Australian Haiku Users and Developers Virtual Conference. This will be an online event taking place on the 17th of Augustus. The date has been chosen because 18th is the Haiku’s Anniversary day ! Read the blog entry to get more information, a website is being set up on http://haikudownunder.com/for the occasion.
San Francisco LinuxWorld 08 conference day 3 report is now online. Also Urias McCullough was video-interviewed at the conference by @lternageek.com. Have a look at the interview over here. Urias == true Haiku evangelist :-)Â Nice performance !
Very nice article of Micheal Lotz explaining “How To Get Haiku Booted“. Wether by building from the soruce code or by using a pre-compiled image he explains how you can set up Haiku on a partition (HD or USB key) or in a virtual machine. A must read !
Wanna know more about the BeOS Joystick Framework ? Here is an article for you.
DarkWyrm’s Filer application beta 2 is out. In his quest for R2, he also published a second application called the Run Program. More info on Filer beta 2 here, details about the Run Program over here.
Nice day to you all !
Monday Darkwyrm posted an item on its blog about achievements he made on his R2 research work. This time he presented his Filer application.  Reading the post: “You can find more detail on the Filer by following the link (original Desktop RFC on the Haiku website), but to quickly summarize, it’s a program to let you automatically organize your files according to a set of rules that you create“. It seems to me a very powefull yet easy to use and configure application. Indeed he explains in a more recent post he was for instance able to automatically organize an MP3 library using only the Filer app and Axel’s id3attr. For those who want to try the power of the Filer you’ll be happy to know it was released yesterday on BeBits and Haikuware. Darkwyrm ask for your feedback but also for your neat rules other could use too. You can mail him, or tell him about the application in his post’s comments. Kudos to you Darkwyrm !
