Had a headdesk moment as I sat down this morning to write a delivery page for a web site I’m current working on. I needed a table of countries, their ISO numbers and two and three letter codes. I’ve done this once or twice before, but had misplaced the script to rip the data from wikipedia and generate the insert statements. I thought I’d run around the web to see if anyone else had the common sense to do the same thing and plonk it on the web.

Lo and behold, the gentleman here has already done it for us. I think he deserves a round of applause and a cup of tea for saving me ten minutes work.
