Blogging again

Trying to get started blogging again, so finally uploaded some old posts that had been waiting on me to tweak the colorization a bit, and some info about recent 3bmd changes.

3bmd updates

3bmd is a Markdown processor implemented in Common Lisp, with various extensions.

Thanks to Vsevolod Dyomkin, it now has an extension to support some of the PHP Markdown Extra table format, so

| Left  | Center Aligned  | Right |
| :------------ |:---------------:| -----:|
| *marked up*      | some wordy text | 123 |
| plain | **centered** | 4 |

renders as

Unlike the original PHP Markdown Extra tables, the | are required on both sides of the table.

Thanks to Gábor Melis, 3bmd can also output markdown, for example after making modifications to the parsed document.

Unfortunately the internal parse tree is still pretty ugly and not an officially supported API yet, so expect it to change at some point.
