My hosting company, Hostonce.com, deleted the mysql database containing the content this blog contained for one year. When I found out this occurred, I saved from Google’s cache all the category index pages from the past year.

Your challenge: write a script that will extract from these HTML pages my old posts, and help me import them into this new installation of WordPress. Upon completion of the task I will pay you $200. If you want to give it a shot, send me an email at rob.goodspeed at gmail.com and I will send you the HTML files.

I have been able to recover the content of the old blog from February 2003 through August 2004 – use the search function.
