Back in the summer of 2001, I started blogging by downloading, installing, and using Noah Grey's Greymatter static page blogging tool. I used it on the free hosting service called Hypermart until some time in 2003 or 2004. I also used Greymatter at work as a tool to manage work-related notes and other information. A lo-fi KMS.
