This is a little off topic, but when I looked at his post I thought, "Wait .. is that LiveJournel?" .. and yes it is apparently. Or at least a fork of it called DreamWidth.
Interesting to see forks of older OSS Perl web apps still in use today.
Caveat lector: I'm one of the two founders of Dreamwidth.
Yes! Dreamwidth is a fork of the old LiveJournal code that is still being developed by a small team of folks who would rather see a small site run in an open, transparent fashion than be beholden to large corporate interests and the whims of monetization.
We're a very happy little family and it's always exciting to see Dreamwidth links end up on HN. :)
