Why It Sucks To Have A Computer Tech In Your Home-(Besides The Money It Costs)

[Mitchell]

I posted earlier about how my computer was giving me the problem with the processing fan, and how I had to have a tech come out to fix it. As he did so, the fan seemed to work okay. He advised me that I dont need to order a processing fan now.

So, as he's on my computer, he starts cleaning it up. Since I didn't want to turn the computer on before he came, I didn't have a chance to change my homepage. Imagine my embarrassment, when he turns on my computer, and my homepage is The Tickling Media Forum. On my favorites is Wu's Foot Fetish Forum. On my computer, in the pictures section, is hundreds of pictures of women being tickled, and of women's feet. This is one reason why I hate having anyone but me touch my computer.

Does anyone else have this? Where you have the TMF or some other adult site as your homepage, or in your favorites, and then someone else goes near your computer who doesn't know about your fetishes, and you're totally embarrassed, and are like, wtf?

Well, whenever I have a problem with my computer that I need dell to look at, I make sure that anything like pics or clips or anything else for that matter are deleted. I clean up my history and try and get rid of any cookies that are stored for the site. I used to have a brother that would always use my computer without my permission and it pissed me off because I had tons of shit on it from the forum and sites, and I literally deleted hundreds of dollars worth of clips at one point because he kept going on my computer when I wasn't around regardless of whether or not I asked him to stay away from it. So yea I do feel ya in that respect.

 

[Mitchell]

mass, I'm sorry to hear about your bro using your comp without your permission. I'm an only child, and single, so no one else uses this comp but me. I do work with my mom, so if she's here, she may look at something on it for work, but she doesnt go into the pics.

The problem was: When everyone told me how dangerous my problem was, I shut it right off, as I couldn't spend time deleting junk off my comp, or changing my homepage to Comcast. I really shouldn't give a shit what techs think, but now two people from that same shop can go back, and say to the guy who owns it "This guy Mitchell has a tickle and foot fetish" Weird! (To them of course, not me). The guy who came yesterday looked like one of Seth Rogen's roommates in Knocked Up. (Not Jason Segel, but one of the other guys, I forget his name). I can just see this guy going back and telling people about me. Fuck him. If they dont like it, that's their problem.

When i have problems with my comp, i will not bring it anywhere to be fixed, in fear of them finding my fetish material. i always buy a new comp. usually one every three years.

 

[Mitchell]

Wow. Interesting, maniac.

This guy came to my home. This company makes home visits.

As for buying a new comp every one to three years, I see your point, but right now, that isnt in my budget. This Comp will be eight years old in May. I'm hopeful of getting more use out of it if it doesnt blow. Yesterday was only the second problem I've ever had with it, knock on wood. If I have to get a new one now, I will.

THEY HAVE FOUND WORSE THINGS.

I read where someone needed their computer repaired and the computer people found CHILD PORN. They turned him into the police and he was arrested.

 

[asutickler]

paracarl44 is right, man. Think about who these guys are: Computer techs who make house calls. I don't even want to imagine the crap they've run across fixing people's PC's. Tickling stuff is somewhat weird to the average vanilla, sure... But it isn't even gross. These guys have probably seen stuff that makes 2 Girls 1 Cup seem like wholesome family entertainment.

I work with the techs that get sent out to houses. Really this site won't phase them at all. May think it odd but it will be quickly forgotten. The ones that aren't are the people who invite them to swingers parties, show off their play/toy room, have child poor, or keep them trapped in a corner cause the home owner is standing naked right behind them. Really my techs seem to care more if the place is a mess over what poor you have. Let's face it they got their own preferences too and probably have it all over there computers. If it really concerns you just get an external harddrive and keep all the naughty downloads on there. it's as simple as disconnecting it for not to show up.

 

[Mitchell]

Thanks, asu, and fire. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I keep this site a secret from all but my two best friends. I'm not "ashamed" of my tickling or foot fetish. I am who I am. I've made some wonderful friendships online through the years, and I cherish them. It just feels awkward when a stranger comes into your apartment, and starts screwing around with your computer, and this site is your homepage that pops up.

I'd recommend at least going to your internet settings, be it IE or Firefox, or whatever you're using and set the homepage to "blank". Odds are, from your cookies, if you really need to get to the TMF quickly, you should be able to do that by opening your browser and typing "t" into the address bar. I'm willing to bet it'll be close to the top of the list, if not at the top. I don't like using homepages, because they always seem to slow things down and eat up resources from loading. Also, if you're using Firefox, you can keep a record of your tabs and have your mainly viewed pages loaded whenever you wanna restart. Of course, that'll take time to load, but I usually leave my browser open and minimized before hibernating.

 

[Mitchell]

Thanks for the advice, Flat. I'll look into what you said.

I use the latest version of IE, not Firefox. I downloaded Firefox, but didnt like it, so I switched to the latest version of IE.

I built my own computer and keep it p/w secured. No one but me is allowed on it.


No one!

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

As far as people using my computer, my family uses it all the time. I just tell them that I have all my passwords and stuff stored on firefox so they have to use internet explorer, which I never use so it has no history of fetish stuff on it, whereas firefox has TMF and fetlife buttons. I don't dload clips and pics and stuff, so I don't have to worry about that.

As far as techs or strangers, It's actually amusing to me to think about someone I don't know and whose opinion I don't care about stumbling across my fetish stuff. I used to use the TMF in my school computer labs all the time and never tried to hide it. It's funny to me to think that someone might have walked behind me and see what I was poking around on and said So had I been in your shoes I probably would have just laughed.

The last time my computer needed service, about two years ago, my home page was Google (as it is now), but my desktop background, filling the screen when the computer is turned on, was the photo below (left) of Mistress Zara's feet. I left it that way, not changing the desktop background. I could care less if some computer tech approves or doesn't approve of my interests, which are perfectly legal.

My current desktop background is the photo below (right) of Goddess Shelly's feet.

 

[Mitchell]

Thanks. Skip, I'm by no means ashamed of my tickling fetish. My mom knows, and my two best friends know, etc. I haven't told my father, because, he's been out of my life for most of the last 20 years, and I just don't think it's his business.

I guess I shouldn't give a shit if dorkboy (Good word, lol). goes back to his computer shop and says "Mitchell's computer is so weird. Both Ken and I (The other tech who serviced this in 2008, and who I learned still works for the company). went to his house, and he has a tickling site as his homepage, a foot site in his favorites, and pictures of barefoot girls, some of them on ladders in his comp." If they all want to think it weird, fuck em.

I know I have to be more of that mindset.

This is why I try to hide my fetish as much as possible. xD I share my mom's laptop currently, and even though I don't have anything saved I'm still really paranoid at times. There was a point where I would even delete the browsing history after every time I went on here, but I stopped doing that a while back. 😛 She never checks.

^Someday she might just get curious.^

 

[Neko]

Yea, but even if she does, she probably wouldn't even know how to check it, let alone look for anything suspicious. Plus even if she does see the link, she may think nothing of it. 😛 'Probably just a pop up or some random link she decided to click on one day' I bet that's all she'd think. xD

Mitch, as a computer guy myself, let me give you some advice for when situations like this come up in the future. Take it or leave it, I have just found it makes me more comfortable.

~ Use two browsers. I prefer using Opera as my "porn browser",and FireFox as my "vanilla" browser. Opera is great because you can set it up to have no homepage, just a "Speed Dial" feature that displays clickable thumbnail versions of your top 9 or more favorite pages, allowing you quick and easy access to all your favorite stuff.

~ Hide your tickling material better. Go to the root of your C: drive and create a new folder there called "QuickBooks Support." Then, create multiple fake directories within that folder, creating a cyber-labyrinth of three or four levels of sub-directories, remembering which one leads to your actual stash. By dumping your material in there, in a folder that just about no-one would bother looking into (who gives a shit about your correspondence with Intuit's tech support staff?), which is unrelated to a place that any spyware or other malicious items would generally hide under most circumstances, you'll be masking your stash in plain sight - which is the best place for it, if you're good.

 

[Maestro1874]

Yeah, I'm sure there's been weirder shit found on computers before.

 

[Angel77]

I agree. I'm sure he's seen all kinds of stuff. I bet a majority of computers that guy fixes has some sort of porn material on it.

Although, that's not to say that my face wouldn't be beet red should a computer tech found this site in my history. That's just how I roll........

 

[scorpionldr]

This is the exact reason I prided the fact that I got a 500 gig Seagate USB hard drive for christmas. Everything goes "IN THE BOX" and thats the end of it.

 

[ViperGTS]

Yeah, don't worry. Take it from me - no matter what you have or how hardcore you think your stuff is, I guarantee you we've always seen worse.

The most hardcore stuff I have seen was a goth/punk chick, double penetrated, tightly bound in a very stressful position, suspended by hooks going through the skin of her back, and severely spanked until her ass was almost bleeding. Then, with the anal plug in place, her spanker removed the dildo from her womanhood and fucked her silly while she hung from the meathooks.

You got nothin', man.​

I've been using dummy folders off of the root directory of the drive for as long as I can remember, so it made me happy to see that someone else uses the same tactic. I do the same thing with my fetish links in firefox. I just created another folder of links and hid it within the main Firefox folder. That way all of my links are right there, and I can safely delete my history without having to worry about finding my way back anywhere.
