When did I give up my free will? ;-)

I've got the data for this, generated from a periodic (every 120
seconds) dump of the liveboard for some popular stations: Ghent Sint
Pieters, Antwerp, Brussels, Charleroi, Liège... and Kortrijk. Unless
anybody would have a use for the raw data (1 row per liveboard entry,
between 300k and 1.5m rows per station over the last 2 months or so)
I'm thinking of publishing an SQLite dump containing a condensed view
(1 row per departure, detailing the maximal delay and latest
platform).
