Gotcha. Eventually I'm going to learn all this once I can afford to take a few weeks off from Turking.

If you've ever used that huge Mturk Engine script that Anveio shared on Reddit, you'll appreciate just how fast React makes things.

Unfortunately, he's a great programmer but not much of a Turker, so he's implemented some of the least important features of his suite first IMO.

And yeah, that's a hit against his scripts. I'm gonna keep calling things like I see them. The fact that others are so scared to call things like they see them in public, but I get so much support in PMs, is evidence that my frankness is needed. But he's not a member of this community, and it's nothing I haven't told him already on Reddit and received a bazillion upvotes for. I'm pretty sure he won't cry.

If Mturk Engine had the full set of Pand Crazy, Ovrwatch, and HIT Scraper, I'd switch to it. Period.
And I'd recommend that others do the same if it ever reaches a full feature set.

The only one of those I currently use is PC. I got rid of hit scraper a long time ago. Overwatch is just a more current version of Hit Monitor I'm guessing? I use a kind of hacked up version of the old HM. I should look into overwatch.

I get insanely competitive when people post higher earnings than me. It motivates me to go out and learn new things to beat them. For the first time in a long time this week not just 1 but 2 people beat me. And to rub salt in the wounds they did it with consecutive posts.



Maybe its time I go out and learn more.

You'll get em this week!

 

You should consider checking out one of the Rocksmith games. They start really slow and with minimal notes and only speeds up and adds more notes when you start hitting enough of them. They have tutorials in there too. Learning from tabs is also great, but the timing can be hard to get down at first. The benefit to Rocksmith is that the video game aspect of it helps you know when you are getting better, because at first it will feel like that's not happening lol

post office lost part of my Amazon Fresh order this morning but as usual Fresh customer service is quick. The cool thing is I already get free delivery so bonus $15

Hi Angela,

This is Angela with Amazon Fresh, it is my pleasure assisting you.

Thank you for reaching out to us and letting us know that you didn't get your full order. I'm so sorry about that, we pride ourselves on top notch customer service and that isn't the experience we want our customers to have at all. I've submitted feedback about this. We review our feedback from our customers regularly, and use that to improve our service going forward.

As we're unable to replace or redeliver AmazonFresh orders and items, I've requested a full refund for those items missing in the amount of $44.63 to the payment method you used for your original purchase.

To help make it up to you, I've added a $15.00 credit to your account. If you would like to place a new order for the item, this credit will help cover the cost of shipping. The credit will automatically apply the next time you order a qualifying item sold and shipped by AmazonFresh or Amazon.com.

Again, thank you for being a Prime member, and I'm sorry about the disappointment. I hope you have a great day.

 

Thanks not being able to sit at the pc for more than a few hours a day really cuts into turking time.
