I actually didn't use source control back when I started, so I can't show you what it looked like on launch day, but this is what BCC looked like in February 2007. Static HTML, written in notepad. The web application wouldn't exist for another year yet, and the software shipped with less than 20 bingo card activities written (it now ships with about 1,000).

Sales from February 2007 were about the same as my sales from today.

http://biblioflip.com -- just a landing page right now. this is a cross-platform (mac/linux/win) desktop elibrary app. drag-n-drop pdf, chm, etc. into it and it 'figures out' what the content is and populates all the meta-info (i.e. authors, isbn, publisher, cover image, etc.). edit meta-info in bulk. lightweight, clean ui, easy to use. will also have lucene full text search (todo). will also expose RESTful web service so that apps like Stanza on iPad can browse and d/l the content to the devices. i've been pouring my time into this from 8PM to 2-3AM on/off while not doing my day job. if anyone wants a peek, i can send you an installer. would love help building the website ;)

http://oddalerts.com Made it for my gf and I, but never got around to polishing it. It still tentatively works. Basically it sends reminders at odd times because I felt when you set a reminder, you automatically remember it anyway, and wind up staring at the clock. So this comes at different times. Bit fuzzy around the edges and I haven't worked on it in months :(

Cool idea actually. I'd use something like this for daily notes to self.
