Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Problems

Today I am having a few problems with Skritter. There is no sound for the tones. My browser keeps trying to download sound files, which it is unable to do and the operation is aborted. I closed and reopened my browser. There was sound briefly but then the buttons no longer worked. Relaunched browser again and back to original problem.

I've messed up the sounds a bit recently. I'm trying to work around two bugs in Flash relating to sound, so will let you know when there's a workaround.

I fixed some of it and got most of the sounds back online, but the new word-level sounds are erroring out. The Internet box on our house just bit the dust after a week of tortured connectivity, so I can't continue to fix it until Verizon sends a tech in the next two days. Ah, well. At least we got the launch out!
