SpellingCow
Description
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.
