I was delighted to see pigdog.org appear on the front page of HN; I thought it had died years ago (and I guess it mostly did). The Pigdog Journal was a Big Deal for a certain clique of nerds/technologists in the late 90s/early 00s. (You know, when Perl was also a Big Deal.) The web was a smaller, zanier place then; for those that remember that web, pigdog.org brings a wave of nostalgia.
