I forgot how I found out about Litestep=2C but I remember starting to use i=
t around 1998.
I remember spending hours a day working on themes for it=2C always striving=
 to make the most minimal theme with the most functionality.

I actually "published" one of them called 'complex_simplicity' (google it) =
which got pretty popular.
In fact=2C it's the theme I still use today. That's right=2C I'm on Liteste=
p right now!

Even my fiancee uses it.

I was also big into the #litestep IRC channel back when it was always busy=
=2C made a lot of friends there.
Jesterace=2C Ender=2C aqcuaboy.

I remember when it was a big deal when Litestep was seen being used on the =
TV show 24.

I also created the #litestep website.
Spent forever on that thing.

That's it boys!
