I think I’m going to use python to write the database conversion script. It should be a good learning experience in unit tests and module details. This is in fact a test post to see how WordPress names its entries. Strangely enough, there are 2 date fields in the posts table, one for local time and another for UTC/GMT.

Why didn’t they just use UTC and keep an offset, I don’t know, but I need to figure out how the thing works to write the correct conversion subroutines. . .

Much to Drupal-developing Dave’s disappointment (I’m sure), I’ve decided to give Word Press a whirl for my net presence. I’m a sucker for the archaic interface, and it’ll keep only the truly interested reading :-P

It’s been a long time since I’ve bothered posting anything, and I think I remember writing that I wasn’t going to do so any longer. But I’d like to extract my pseudo-blog from the forum and re-work it into something actually more blog-like. And once that happens, I’ll prolly start calling this a blag.

I’ll get to learn some simple PHP and MySQL syntax since I have to convert the PHP-Nuke database into something that I can insert into the Word Press database. *shudder* I wonder if there are any python modules that would help with this…
