Yes, Gavin is a true legend for being the first person to really implement a legitimate automated Bitcoin service.  Even if the service was just to give away BTC, at the time it was groundbreaking.  I'm pretty sure I remember claiming from it one time even, although I may have been late to the party...  It was a long time ago.  I definitely remember visiting the site though.  A shame that Gavin was demonized after being duped by faktoshi and chased out of the community.  I still believe that Gavin was a smart guy and Bitcoin was better off with him then without him, but he believed in a p2p payment network and saw little value in hodling, as evidenced from his faucet creation.
