Thanks for tryying the SpellingCow spell checkr demo. As you can see thre are several misspelled words hre. I will now just talk Gibberish. I'm Nuttzy. I like technology and gadgets. I like cell phones, PDA, and laptops. Not a big fan of iPod because I'm not a huge fan of buying music. I love cool science, especiall space stuff like black holes and light speed travel. Kinda odd, but I like geology too. I like hearing how glaciers shaped the land. I'm a huge Red Sox fan, and of course, who doesn't love the Patriots? Celtics are okay, and Bruins I rarely watch. I'll probably change this text later to give better SEO results. But for now that's enough rambling. How about one more spelling eror.

Mon Nov 20, 2006 8:34 am          v3.2 - support for Opera and Safari
SpellingCow.com is proud to announce its latest release, version 3.2, the "cross-cow edition". This release adds preliminary support for the Opera and Safari web browsers. This allows SpellingCow to support over 99% of today’s browser market, making it a great solution for any web site. Opera versions 8.5+ (perhaps earlier too) and Safari 1.3+ are well supported for short messages, though some issues such as scrolling in longer messages remain.

This release also vastly improves positioning the highlights in FireFox and Internet Explorer 6 and 7. Attributes like padding, margin, border, line-height, and font specifics are all taken into account and forced to match the textarea settings. We feel the checker is now more tightly integrated and seamlessly fits in with your site!

With the core functionality solidly complete, the next release will expand the feature set. Expected additions include support for multiple textareas and textboxes; custom dictionaries; support for 75 languages and dialects; an administrator section for maintaining site options and a site-wide dictionary; and an interface for licensed sites to monitor their usage statistics. A few more treats are planned, if time allows.

Mon Sep 04, 2006 3:30 pm          Welcome Slashdotters!
We're happy to have you! We've taken a few precautions to make sure we can stay up while you visit, so please excuse the appearance. Feel free to use the forum to ask questions (for as long as we can keep it going). I think you will find SpellingCow to be a very handy tool. It probably needs just a tad more polish, but overall it's quite sturdy. It's been tested on a some busy forums for quite some time now, so we've been able to work out most of the kinks. I definitely recommend installing now, because you'll automatically receive updates as they become available.

Enjoy!

Mon Aug 21, 2006 10:37 pm          Spell check as you type!
I am extraordinarily proud to announce the release of SpellingCow v3.0, the "About Time!" edition. This release represent a fundamental shift in the service... and extreme increase in the "coolness factor" By simply adding a single line to your web page, SpellingCow can now spell check AS YOU TYPE! The demo on www.spellingcow.com shows you all you need to know.

This version has been under development for quite some time and has been battle-tested on some very busy forums and holds up quite nicely. You can install on your site or, via a favelet, you can try it on any site out there regardless if they have SpellingCow installed or not.

There are more features coming subsequent releases, the biggest being support for many languages and maintaining personal dictionaries.

Enjoy!

Fri May 19, 2006 6:51 pm          annnnnnnnd we're back!
Firstly, I'd like to personally apologize for the outage SpellingCow suffered this week. The epic 15 inches of rain caused historic flooding in the area. The building that hosts SpellingCow was under chest-high water for several days leaving us with few options. I know the outage was very disruptive for some SpellingCow users and I am truly sorry for this.

SpellingCow has worked hard to reduce single points of failure including attaining connectivity from multiple providers and a gas powered generator. However, the nearby river quickly swelled from 4ft to 62ft in two or three days, surpassing the 52ft flood marker and flooding the area for the first time in at least seventy years. Despite our servers being safe on the second floor, with the building severely compromised no power was allowed to run through the building and no one was allowed to access the generator. Waters have receded and operations are back on-line.

What are we doing about it? I am pleased to publicly announce that testing of a new version of SpellingCow will begin soon. The new version discards the pop-up window entirely and is able to actually spell check as you type! Red squiggly underlines bring attention to your misspellings, as is done in popular desktop word processing programs. We are very excited for the release of this version as it has been in the works for a long time and we think it will be very popular.

As it applies to recent events, the good news is that if SpellingCow were to experience an outage, with the new version there would be no impact other than a loss of spell checking. That said, we are shooting for 100% up-time relying on multiple server locations across the United States (3 such places are planned for the near term). The servers will work in tandem to distribute the load and to also handle the loss of a server center.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving you in the future.

Sincerely,
-Craig
