  • Slowly working on a new back end to the site so we can automatically keep up with all the submissions we've been getting. It's starting to take all our time to just read all the emails, much less answer them. Getting anything posted is starting to be impossible. Anyhow, thanks to everyone who keeps sending stuff in. including suggestions, and stuff.
  • Added Ramp Armor to the list of materials mentioned in the "What surface should I use" question on the FAQs page.
  • Added an FAQ for "Will you send me plans for ...?" to the FAQs page.
  • Added an FAQ for "How much should the coping stick out?" to the FAQs page.

  • Added Tum Yeto and David Beale to the From the web section of the site.
  • had planned on posting a misc tips page, a cardboard r.p.d.o mini, the CAD files we've been sent but not able to use yet in case someone else can make use of them, pictorial of fess' first ramp. and get further on the R.P.D.O. mini II plans. However some spammers sent out tens of thousands of emails pretending to be from one of the domains we control, and all the bounces and hate mail took down our servers. Spent 8 hours yesterday cleaning that up. that's not skating or ramp building, as if we weren't short enough on time. Damn spammers. Maybe we'll get to it during the week.
