Today we held our our first public demo at the MiniBar meetup. Audiance was presented with sneak-peak preview of English version of our contextual engine. We defeated all the last-minute bugs and it worked flawlessly. A day before at the presentation in front of Tom Glocer, we learned that you should never put your demo on weird non-80 ports.

Now we are moving forward with contextual technologies (and removing buttons from the interface). If you want to be notified when we have more stuff to show to the public, sign up for our Newsletter.

Douglas Adams really liked the whooshing noise of the deadlines when they flew by. Similarly our own presentations are approaching with speed of light and accelerating. We’ll be presenting at Mini Bar on 19. October together with other Seedcamp finalists and a week later to Seedcamp investors.

However we plan to use a bit different deadline-combating-tactics than Adams did, so we are working day and night to deliver on time. And when you work on fun things, time flies like an arrow (which is an interesting syntactic disambiguation problem - disclamer: which we don’t plan to try solving).

You really start to notice how time is disappearing when you have 52 hour batch job that machine has to process (digesting wikipedia dump if you wonder) and then around hour 43, disk fails for one single request and you have to start from the beginning. Luckily this time around Blaž is providing some redundancy processing in Ljubljana if Murphy visits us again.
