Green light for fusion project
3/09/2007A British-led team of scientists has won European Union approval to seek to make nuclear fusion, the physicist’s dream, a reality. Nuclear fusion has the potential to solve the world’s energy crisis with carbon-neutral technology by harnessing the process that drives the Sun.

Multiplay announces i31 - Glastonbury of Gaming
27/07/2007I’ve been attending the Multiplay i-series for years now, both as a punter and as staff. I’ve seen it go from strength to strength but it looks like i31 will be in a different league entirely. They’ve dedicated an entire floor to exhibitor stands, making it a true festival of gaming. Of course there’s the usual huge BYOC LAN and social activities, but this addition brings back a proper computer expo to the UK, something we’ve lacked since the death of ECTS.
HelloHella is now HellaWorld
16/07/2007HelloHella has now been renamed to HellaWorld, coinciding with the release of version 1.6 which includes many new features and bug fixes. This release is revision 80 in the SVN repository.
When I wrote HelloHella I was unaware of a Python web interface for HellaNZB called HellaHella. I decided to rename mine as the names were too similar, and I didn’t want to be accused of name plagiarism.
I recommend everyone update immediately.
