This is now the 15th full revamp¹ of WarpedVisions. It’s been around in many forms, for several years, and is a constant source of learning. It started as a simple link log on one of my development boxes, shared over a half-channel ISDN connection. That first link log was generated by a simple C++ application, and contained a few dozen links. The internet was much smaller then.

Over the years the site moved from a work machine, to my ISP, then to various weblog hosts (Pitas.com, Blogger.com, Typepad.com), and finally to Dreamhost (around 1997). Since my arrival at Dreamhost, Warped has been implemented as static HTML, and generated by most of the available weblog and bulletin-board packages ([MoveableType], Blosxom, Textpattern, Wordpress, Slashcode, my own NIH tool, and now WordPress).

A few different looks
