The Blog is Back... Mostly

I converted a mysqldump of the old TextPattern blog to markdown and brought it back up using the Hugo static site generator.

I chained one hack after another. I converted the textpattern table to sqlite in Perl with SQL::Translator, queried the desired fields from sqlite3, munged the tabular output with jq into json, and finally a slapped together a quick Python hack using Jinja2 templates to generate the front matter for hugo and a pandoc subprocess to translate textile markup to markdown. I know, filthy.

Things I know are broken: images, some links, anything involving the old versions of the site. I might eventually get around to fixing it.
