06/09 - Stretching Sunday!

I don't have issues with anybody and most of my friends were a kaleidoscope of what problems exist in the world.

 

This is self defeating because of how interesting the art is itself, yeah?

Sidenote: that branch didn't make those marks.

 

So mTurk is loading so s-l-o-w but everything else is fine- what's the deal- am I the only one having problems today-

 

Look at me, I'm so "down" with the struggle, you don't even know, man.

 

Every time I come here tonight you guys are still discussing this racist, gender, bullshit. I come here for work issues and to be entertained. Please drop the drama. This is not the place for it.

 

I couldn't give one little peep shit about the struggle. I wanna have fun.

 

It's probably all of that, right? Okay. My favorite color is blue and it's 3am and I have to wait to go buy beer.

I like purple too.

 

...and contextually... do you use actual keys to get from a to b (i.e. tab, shift, ctrl, etc.) or the mouse?

 

You weren't asking me but I'll answer anyways.

I use AutoHotkey scripts to shortcut some simple stuff.

So for example one of my scripts lets me use Alt-R to return a hit.
(If there was already a standard keyboard shortcut for returning, that'd be news to me.)
I do a LOT of returning (my return rate is a ridiculous 40%), so I really wanted a shortcut for that.

 

Alright, I have beer and I wasn't drinking it until my internet went out, came on, went out...been dealing with slow internet all day- come here, read that shit, leave- go back and deal with my stuff- had to go into registry and change some stuff after an hour of research, because some Avast update let it start controlling Firefox . Fix that, all other sites loading fast the way they used to, come here, that shit still going on and mTurk is the only site still hanging up, everywhere-my dash and hits, come here- it's 3:21 am SSDD- geesh
Is mTurk loading slow for anyone else that's up?
Oh and I love purple and sea green.
I am probably the only one that uses the mouse for everything.

 

Just in case it may be a local issue:

First I'd clear browser cookies, then quit-and-restart the browser.

If that doesn't help, try a different browser.

If that doesn't help, restart the computer ...
and power your network router(s) off for like half a minute and on again.

If that doesn't help, maybe it's an external issue somewhere in the network?

idk

 

Wondering cause from up above-"Our cloud DB provider is having issues & we're investigating to find a solution. Sorry for the inconvenience!"
Maybe Amazon is on the same cloud DB or another one having problems today... maybe that's dumb idk

 

At worst, if you get a 400 error issue, click on the lock in chrome and got sites and clear the cookies for it. Short answer.

 

lol idk ... I always do all those things that I mentioned, and they almost never solve anything. It's the same stuff tech support people often suggest ("clear your cache and cookies, restart this and that," yada yada) ... it almost never helps (because the cause is usually external not local) ... except on rare occasions when it helps (those rare cases where it really is a local problem at our end).

 

Well, okay. I'm gonna go watch some more episodes of Justfied.

Night sweet cakes.

 

It's none of that. Everything else loading fast and fine. It's mTurk- when I click dashboard, takes 15 seconds to engage- the Firefox little thingy up top goes back and forth like 50 times before it connects and my dashboard opens, or if I try to open a hit to work on, same thing- cannot do batch hits- too slow.

 

Yeah, I'll try it tomorrow-
