Hurry up on those alpha registrations will ya? according to BBC the Large Hadron Collider based in geneva LHC will ‘maybe’ produce mini black holes or unknown material that will ‘maybe’ consume the earth into a hot lump of unknown material or just transport us into limbo land.

The organization - known better by its French acronym, Cern - will operate the collider underground in a 27km-long tunnel near Geneva.

Most physicists believe the risk of a cataclysm lies in the realms of science fiction. But there have been fears about the possibility of a mini-black hole - produced in the collider - swelling so that it gobbles up the Earth.

This Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a powerful and complicated machine, which will smash together protons at super-fast speeds in a bid to unlock the secrets of the Universe in hope that a catastrophic incident involving a black hole and some scientists running screaming ‘Its happening!’ wont actually happen.

scary stuff, hurry on that alpha signups, we might release our next version in a galaxy far far away.

Good people of firefox can now run both of them at the same time with MultiFireFox application. Turns out all the issue of running firefox 3.0 and 2.0 at the same time was profiling being loaded and re-loaded everytime you load firefox at diffrent verrsions. Now you can use this handy application from codecontortionist.com to load a specific profile with firefox so you can enjoy version 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time. Great tool. Great solution. Stright to my dock. (OSX only).

We started using the new wordpress blog software just recently, i’m a very oldskool person and i used a very early stage code of wordpress for a long time. when we installed the blog for devunity we did the

 reasonable thing and downloaded the latest version. although its a far better version then what we used with a rock solid code, nifty features and a slick user interface i just dont understand what is the difference between a category and a tag.

We at devunity decided that keeping statistics is important for you. Since our early days with i4giveu.com and betabug we used to work with the hosted applications for website statistics like webstat and others. Don’t get me wrong, using those apps is a proper solution. you don’t have to integrate nothing, it just breaks apart your logs and give you a proper statistics. basic ones. but proper. (more…)
