Site Notes – Page 3 – Skate and Annoy

Back from vacation

I just spent another week in a town with a perpetually flat ocean and yet every third retail store serving the tourist trade has a few mint condition surfboards on the walls, ceiling, or in the window. Must be a city ordinance. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years during different times of the […]

Hey asshole, knock it off!

Somebody in Kansas / Missouri trying to hack into the site. What’s your problem buddy?

2014 redesign

Whoo boy! So I’ve been busy in my free time since the winter holidays, working on the redesign of Skate And Annoy. It’s not quite done yet, but I’m getting sick of turning it on “maintenance mode” at night and weekends while I work on this. There are definitely a few bugs and some things […]

I code for you

I’ve been working on porting some of the old static HTML content into the WordPress powered back end. The latest addition is the old Galleries section. Most of the work was in figuring out how to make the old format fit, and now that’s done. Well… mostly. There are a few things that need to […]

And we’re back…

Sorry for the unannounced blackout this week, but I decided to do some major overhauling in the back end of the site so I could make some improvements down the road. If you’re pissed, just remember, it was in the Terms of Service agreement that everyone had to mail me with a dollar when you […]

We’re back (?)

Our normally reliable web host had a few issues while switching us over to new hardware yesterday, and as a result, S&A was unvailable for about 12 hours today. As I’m writing this we’re still experiencing sporadic difficulties and outages. Kind of reminds me of the reason we switched web hosts in the first place, […]
