7th Öresund JavaScript Meetup (and the next)
So that was the 7th meetup about JavaScript. We learnt stuff about extending Chrome, that WebKit browser. Mark Wubben taught us. Thanks, Mark!

Pen buying recommendation in Malmö
Drewex has the art supplies that I need, according to my comics artist friend. She showed some pens that were also brushes. It’s situated in a backstreet, and is cheap and popular with the active artists. These facts sum up to a great endorsement. I’ll report back when I’ve been there. In other news: Rainer …
