Indulge me. I allowed myself to make a little poster. Öresund JavaScript Meetup #10 on June 14, in Malmö, at Hypergene’s offices. I guess there are a couple of things wrong with it. The date and time are lacking. Monday June 14. At 19.00. The URL says those things. (But people looking at a poster …

This past Tuesday, we ran another Hackmeetup. Same great location, same great time. Mark ran a talk about Typography on the Web for an audience of three. For the hardware experimentation session, Carl had left, so it was Mark, me, and David, and we all worked on the same project. Mark had brought a USB-connected …

At the last meeting with Copenhagen.rb, I said I’d test out Crosscheck – a JavaScript testing framework, suited for continuous integration or command-line testing. I had just tried getting it to run, following the slightly outdated Add Event tutorial. At last I got it to work, but I had to actually read the text, not …
