Right, so I've got this:

844 entries using 113,842 words stored in 421,949 bytes.
344 comments using 13,094 words stored in 75,088 bytes.

I need to convert these from Simple PHP Blog (using flat files) to some form of MySQL-based thing like WordPress, because Simple PHP Blog hasn't been updated for a while, and I think my site needs a refresh too. A rebranding exercise, if you like.

I'm actually toying with a C# app that will go through each .gz file, uncompress it, remove the awkward special formatting and replace it with proper HTML tags, and write an INSERT statement for each entry. Then I'll make it freely available.

So it's 15:06 now. How far do you think I'll get by 7pm?
