snarfed.org has been around [since early 2002](snarfed.org_history). It's hosted
at [pair.com](http://pair.com/) on a
[shared FreeBSD server](http://pair.com/services/web_hosting/). It
[currently](2010-08-08_migrated_to_wordpress) runs on
[WordPress](http://wordpress.org/) and the [snarfed theme](/). It
[used to](2006-08-23_virtual_housewarming) run on
[PyBlosxom](http://pyblosxom.sf.net/) with a custom PyBlosxom
[flavour](snarfed.org_PyBlosxom_flavour) and [plugins](software). Before that,
it ran on [SnipSnap](http://snipsnap.org/), on a
[Linux VPS](http://jvds.com/linux.php) at [JVDS](http://jvds.com/).
