ReST, Textile and HTML in Markdown
Recently I have run into a few situations where I really wanted to avoid Markdown messing with segments of text, and there isn't a completely intuitive way to deal with that by default, so I put together a quick solution. And.. while I was at it I added some support for rendering Textile and ReST from within Markdown as well.

Looks like the first declaration in screen.css is the culprit. Either take pre out of the reset, or change its font-family.

Are my <code> tags not using a fixed width font? Really? Is that what is happening here? Hrm.

Updates to Sparklines.js
There are a few updates concerning Sparklines.js, the most important of which is that it has a public repository for those who are interested in contributing (or just critiquing the code). I have also begun extending the scaling logic to be less nonsensical for charts whose data doesn't start at zero.

Hey Will. Great work as always.
As I tweeted earlier, I was able to confirm this as working in IE7 on Windows XP.
I'm more and more impressed with what you and others are able to do with Javascript. With all of the abuse Javascript has taken over the years, it's shedding much of its negative image with each of these projects that push it a bit further.

JSON, Object Oriented Views, and Starting a Real App
The third installment of Ken Arnold's series, *Wielding Django*. After examining some Django basics for the first two entries, Ken starts looking at more advanced techniques in this entry, some of which can really transform how you'll look at Django views in the future. He also lays the foundation for the application he'll be using to demonstrate more Django techniques and practices as his series continues.

Ambush Code Review Learns Code Diffs
I spent two or three hours working on Ambush Code Review today to implement some ideas I had last night. The basic problem was that it didn't make it easy to post improvements to code, but I think that it has reached a much more usable place. Actually, I think its become useful. Fancy that.

pickle.dumps/pickle.loadshandles dumping/loading to strings. But at least you can read JSON by eye.
Cool. Went in and fixed it up first thing this morning (may have to reload the page to get a refresh of the css file), so code blocks are making a bit more sense now.
Thanks for pointing out where it was going wrong Luke.
