Today is:

National Sticky Bun Day

National Grain-Free Day

National Caregivers Day

supposedly a panda caregiver:

I like how the panda makes eye contact with the nurse to make sure she's freaking out.

Couple questions that I didn't see covered in the FAQs if you don't mind...

1. For those of you that use watchers in MTurk Engine, what is the normal Time between attempts that you use? If I keep the time at the default (5 seconds), they seem to time out really quickly. I haven't seemed to be able to find the sweet spot yet.
2. How long do you usually keep watchers? 24 hours? Longer?

Thanks! I'm trying to catch as many of these as I can!

2. How long do you usually keep watchers? 24 hours? Longer?

Thanks! I'm trying to catch as many of these as I can!

I usually use 1-1.5 seconds depending on how many page request errors I am getting at a time. I use Hit Catcher from MTS and that seems to work pretty good for me.

As far as leaving the PandA's I usually don't have them running for very long unless it is something I know has either a long timer on it and won't be automatically returned for a while, or it is something I really want to to catch. i usually will let two or three PandA's run for an hour or two and if they haven't caught anything, I dump them. But like I said it depends on the timers and personal want/need. I generally clear out all of the PandA's from the day before every morning.
