Update on online website and app testing platforms

So I'm now getting into this a lot. This is all I am doing to keep myself busy now. After breaking both my wrists (one after each other), I'm now back to almost normal typing again.

I've been in several test cycles on utest and have been paid. Paid for test cases and for finding bugs! Utest is definitely my favourite platform. It is run by Applause. I have even performed a usability test cycle using my Linux platform and the Chromium browser. See https://www.utest.com for more info, feel free to use my referral link if you think you might sign up - https://www.utest.com/ref336271

Another platform I signed up to is Australian based Crowdsprint. I'm doing my first official test cycle at the moment. See https://crowdsprint.com/ for more info.

Crowdsprint pay for test cases and for bugs. My first test cycle is a bug only finding project. Test cases were available but only for specific devices. Even though they seem to be registered in Melbourne, payments are advised in USD.

On one of the sites, Test Birds, I have been able to refer a friend to one of the projects. If they successfully complete the project, I will get a bonus payment. Here is my general referral link for Test Birds. Not sure exactly what this gets me, possibly just community points.  https://nest.testbirds.com/?t=05f3e8b1-9f76-4b9a-a185-1f97b8fe8de9#tester

I will post updates on this topic from time to time.

6 weeks later...cast off!

Finally after 6 long weeks in a purple cast, it has come off. My wrist and forearm were able to have a shower.

My right wrist (bottom in the pic) is still swollen and very wonky. I've got physio to do and hopefully the wrist won't look so bad in the end.

Cast off. Broken wrist at the bottom.

Purple cast!

I had my wrist re-plastered yesterday. I was able to choose the colour. I went for purple. Looking very bright indeed!

Good news from the fracture clinic, I won't need surgery. I go back for a reassessment and cast change next week. I'd love to go multi colour, but that would be wasting materials.

I broke two bones in my wrist, the radius and ulna.
