Nope, i can’t spell for beans. I’m a slave to my spell checker. If you’re like me, and you use Firefox (as i do) you may be familiar with Spellbound. Problem is, Spellbound hasn’t been updated for Firefox 1.5+.
Some googling led me to Aspell, but that doesn’t (natively) work with Windows. There’s a port that someone has attempted, but seeing four pages of forum posts or troubleshooting, i skipped to the end (looking for a solution) where A forum post recommended installing the Google Toolbar extension–So i was convinced.
I had never felt i needed the Google toolbar before, Firefox has a google search window built in and also blocks pop-ups pretty effectively. However, the google toolbar does have a spellchecker. There’s a few quirks compared to Spellbound. Spellbound would provide a pop-up spell checker, where as the Google Toolbar uses (what appears to me to be) ajax code to allow you to click on incorrectly spelled words. It has the same feel as the spell checker in Gmail.
So long Spellbound, hope to see you again soon!
