Do batches post randomly all day I am assuming?
They post when requester decide to post them. If they are scheduled, we don't have access to that information. There are usually less overnight but, that's not a rule.

How long have you been on mturk? Are you turking full time?
Sorry, I meant quality batches that are well known. I always assumed 99% they are posted when I do my main work.

The trick is finding batches that aren't well known.

I did a fun batch last night. Some batches post in the day and run all night. You can't depend on when they are going to post. But, just like in real life, most work is done during daylight hours.

If it helps you feel any better I haven't been awake/at home for a Zoltar in like 2 years and I have only been on Mturk for 18 months.

That's why I like Prolific. Early morning prime time there is like 3 AM here.

Is it really a batch if the forum doesn't talk all day about it?
Are most of the batches you work on a constant requester or do you just script at the moment when you see an opportunity?

I wish I was faster at scripting. I just hate building a script for a requester that works well and pays well, then he never shows his face again. Too many heart breaks man :(
