Is anyone following the LHC event webcast right now?

They just ramped the beams up successfully to 3.5 TeV and will make the beams collide soon; for the first time at max capacity (for this year) at 7 TeV.

You can follow semi-realtime statistics of the machine and its detectors here.

Getting a tour and some lectures I think. I'm going with the college Physics Society. We're also spending a few days in Geneva, it should be good.
