Turkey Day? Turking Day!

[sylvar]

I've been turking recently. It looks like the gold rush may be over, but I've had fun and I'll continue to check in to see if there are interesting tasks for me to do.

So what am I doing with it? Half of it will be applied to debt reduction, and half of it will be used to buy something nice. I'm planning to wait until after Christmas and see if I can afford a 60GB video iPod. In the meantime, it's a fun way to spend a few minutes here and there.

Feh. I got $2 and sore(r) hands.

Also, that sentence could certainly sound odd out of context.

Yes, manual turking is tedious. I found a Firefox+Greasemonkey script that made it much easier -- thumbnails are laid out in a 3x3 grid (with the bottom right corner blank), and you type on the number pad to identify and submit your choices. With a robo-accept flag turned on, I almost always got assigned the HITs I saw, and with multiple tabs open on a high-speed connection, I was able to ctrl+pgdn, numpad, enter, ctrl+pgdn, numpad, enter... as long as the answer was obviously None Of The Others. I still gave human-level intelligence where it was called for.

I'm up to $18.75 for 3 days worth of work. =)
