How Do I Troubleshoot This Remotasks Bug That Prevents Me From Completing A Task?

in GEMS4 years ago

Yesterday became nice. My mother called me in the early hours of the morning. She didn't forget. I was also able to talk to my sister and brother and it was calming. Mothers are very strong. They will always try to encourage you. I was not able to talk to my dad but my dad is similar too. They are always fine or they never say they are not.

Today was another normal day. I began the day inspired from the conversation with my family yesterday but this inspiration did not last long. I had a set plan of completing my very first task with Remotasks but i didn't succeed and the day is quite over. The tasks are graphic intensive that i don't know what is causing the errors. I try to complete a task and the website get stuck with red notices preventing me from proceed to the next area of the task. It has been raining and my internet has been slow but i don't think that should be the reason for my tasks getting stuck. This is something that Remotasks need to improve. It is hard to troubleshoot when you come across a bug or issue and there are not many resource online to help. It is important that they fix this because each task takes hours to accomplish. It is hard to dedicate hours to something only to get stuck and have to restart the task each time. I have struggled to complete one task for three days now. Another thing that can be improved is having a way to determine how long a task would require on average. For now, when i come across a task, i have no way of estimating in advance how many hours it will take to complete the task and while doing the task, there is no way of estimating how close i am to the end of the task. It would be nice to know how much progress i have made in a task and how much of the task is left.

I am still trying to figure things out and when i do i will write about it because in times like this when i needed a resource from the internet to help me fix the issue, i didn't find much. Hopefully my article or experience will help others who work with Remotasks troubleshoot similar issues.

Besides Remotasks, i managed to cook a meal. A type of vegetable soup with some goat meat. In the Philippines, goat meat is expensive so i can only buy a small amount at a time. Pork and chicken is cheap, while meat from goat and beef are the expensive ones. Goat is hard to find compare to beef, so when i find a store that has goat meat, i buy some of that instead of beef.
