Good news: we’re being funded by Seed Capital. After Kickstart 2H10, we kept in touch with Mário Valente and finally last week we signed the papers. We’re very happy to count with a great team of advisors and join the growing group of companies also funded by Seed Capital:

• Tarpipe
• Sysactum
• Quirkafleeg
• FashionPolis

Last Saturday I went to the first edition of PechaKucha Night in Coimbra. I really liked it, even with the wide range of themes and performances.

For those who don’t know what pechakucha is, well, then you should check their website: it’s an international event, started in Japan, mostly aimed for architects, designers and photographers to show their work in a fixed presentation format of 20 images x 20 seconds. The event started becoming a success in Japan and has been adopted worldwide. Coimbra had their first edition last night at D.Dinis. Despite two last minute withdrawals the house was quite packed and people seemed to enjoy it, so i reckon it was a success.

One of my favorites, Kickstarter, is mentioned.

At Codebits I had some problems configuring a Sinatra application to use MongoDB with the Mongoid ORM. And then I had some other problems deploying it on Heroku with the MongoHQ add-on.

Eventually I got it all working smoothly. To avoid going through the hassle again, I uploaded to GitHub a template application which works out of the box with the above configuration. Looking at it now, it looks pretty straightforward, and I can’t remember what the issues were. But it might save some time to someone else.
