Lintilla https://www.lintilla.net Mostly Harmless. Tue, 01 Aug 2023 22:10:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 62742375 Did you miss me? https://www.lintilla.net/2023/08/01/did-you-miss-me/ https://www.lintilla.net/2023/08/01/did-you-miss-me/#respond Tue, 01 Aug 2023 22:10:30 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=3580 I’m sure one or two people on the planet have noticed my not-so-brief hiatus.

I’ve just migrated my webhosting and am working on getting this site back up and running, although I have no idea what I want to do with it.

In any case, I’ll be working on fixing anything else I broke while moving the site. So far I’ve updated the customs page with new information, because I will be taking those requests again starting now.

I will also be coming back to camming/content in the (hopefully) not to distant future. That will probably mean Streamate at first, but we’ll see how that site’s doing these days (last I checked, it was aggravating for everyone involved). And maybe I’ll stop simply squatting my OnlyFans pages. We shall see. Life has been throwing a lot of bullshit at me lately, so I’m going slow!

See ya around, strange person who is looking at this for some reason when my last update was in… 2017!

Some babbling about why I don’t do more Skype shows https://www.lintilla.net/2017/09/14/some-babbling-about-why-i-dont-do-more-skype-shows/ https://www.lintilla.net/2017/09/14/some-babbling-about-why-i-dont-do-more-skype-shows/#comments Thu, 14 Sep 2017 08:53:50 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=637 I’ve been asked a lot lately why I don’t push Skype shows more, or sign onto SkyPrivate etc. more often. Most often I’m asked these questions on Streamate, where I can’t answer them, and where it’s really kind of inappropriate to ask me, especially if you’re not a newb. So I wanted to explain here…

My exclusive rate on Streamate right now is $9.99/min. My cut of that is $3.00/min. My Skype rates vary depending on they payment method, but my cut is usually about the same as it is on Streamate. So the show is cheaper for the customer buying it, but I’m making the same amount of money. Based on only that, obviously customers will prefer Skype, while it might be all the same to me. Except that there are many other factors for me:

1) I’m not as visible on Skype as I am on Streamate. I’d have to spend more (unpaid) time promoting myself in various ways to attract more attention to myself. That’s a lot of time and effort vs. Streamate where all I have to do is sign on and plenty of traffic comes my way.

2) Dudes on Skype want to schedule a show, but don’t always show up when I go out of my way to be on time. Things come up, and who can schedule a boner in the first place. Other guys message me randomly asking if I’m available when I have no ability to get online (and often get themselves blocked with the way they react when I say I’m not available). On Streamate, if I’m online I’m ready. The customers in my room are ready. No “phone tag” and drawn out (unpaid) back and forth. No scheduling bullshit to deal with. I HATE SCHEDULING.

3) Anyone with a member account on Streamate has already proven that they have a functioning payment method. A couple of clicks and everything’s underway. Guys who message me about Skype shows often turn out to be unable to pay me, or are unsure how. This is frequently predictable, if they’ve listed a location on their account, but often enough I end up wasting (unpaid) time negotiating things.

4) I’m more often asked to push or break my limits on Skype, especially when guys have paid up front (this is the main reason I prefer pay per minute, especially with new customers!) Guys just seem to think they can get away with more (unpaid). This does not amuse me, to say the least.

5) Once I’ve added someone as a contact on Skype, a lot of customers seem to think it’s appropriate spend (unpaid) time casually chatting with me whenever the fuck, and get shitty when I disabuse them of that notion. This happens much less frequently on Streamate.

6) 7) 8) 9) 10) I have a ton of other shit I could add, but maybe it’s becoming clear that despite making about the same rate while actively in a show, Skype shows demand a lot more time, effort, and counting down from ten before I tell someone off than working on Streamate does. I may continue to do Skype shows, but I think I’ll be jacking up my rate significantly to compensate if I do. Otherwise it’s just not currently worth it to me to put that extra (unpaid) time and effort in. And I’ll still be available online when I’m online. I REALLY HATE SCHEDULING. I WILL NOT DO IT. DO NOT ASK. STOP ASKING.

Changes to my Snapchat! https://www.lintilla.net/2015/07/23/changes-to-my-snapchat/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/07/23/changes-to-my-snapchat/#respond Thu, 23 Jul 2015 10:07:20 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=472 Alright, I think I’m too much of a lazy butt. I don’t feel like selling my Snapchat is appropriate for how often I go without updating for various reasons. And I have so many excuses. It was always a trial thing, and it has turned out to be an obligation I’m not comfortable with. And then otherwise sometimes my neurotic self feels like what I’m sending is boring. Yeah, I’m a nut, but I’m also very rarely spontaneously sexy. Especially not on a daily basis.

Buuuuuuut, I do still like giving people a peek now and then of my daily life, and forcing everyone to look at whatever stupid thing my cat is doing. So I will still be updating! And I would very much appreciate a tip here or there if you like what you see (though, I mean, the only pic I sent today was of me making a contorted double-chin face…)

Therefore… as of several minutes from now I will be setting my story to be viewable to all. My username is lintilla_taylor. Everybody add me!

I will be deleting all members from my friends in the near future. In the future I may offer to add members to my friends in order to receive more exclusive snaps, or the ability to reply, but I’m not going to go ahead and do that just now, except maybe in a few special cases for regulars, as prizes, or who the hell knows… I’m not known to be consistent in my behaviour.

If you’re one of the very few guys who still has time left in your 30 days, I’d be perfectly happy to give you a coupon for a free or discounted video, or something else of similar value to what you had remaining, just go ahead and send me a tweet, snap (not deleting everyone juuuust yet, giving time for people to see this), email, smoke signal, or jam a Russian military shortwave number station radio signal with your username and I’ll take note. Anyone else who asks earns one slap with a wet fish, Monty Python style, because I’ll know you’re full of shit, I’ve kept records properly since my comeback this summer 😛

I hope this will result in less pressure for me, and therefore more fun for everyone! Thanks for dealing with my general indecisiveness about everything in my life, guys, and see ya around!

Towel Day Rhino Donation https://www.lintilla.net/2015/06/09/towel-day-rhino-donation/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/06/09/towel-day-rhino-donation/#respond Tue, 09 Jun 2015 21:49:38 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=430 Didn’t have a great turnout on Towel Day, probably something to do with Memorial Day coinciding with it. In any case, I had promised to give 42% (+8%) to Save the Rhinos International. I didn’t do that. I donated £42 instead, which was 100% and then some of what I made that day (seemed like a nice sort of number to go with). Here’s the confirmation email:

Save the Rhino Confirmation Email

If you missed out on the show, well, I still have a school of inflatable dolphins hanging out in my cam room, so you can still meet them. More importantly, though, you should check out this subreddit of baby rhino gifs, and then, overwhelmed by the cuteness, make your own contribution to Save the Rhino International.

I know some of you get email updates. You’re probably the same guys who already follow my Twitter account and who should therefore already be informed, but hey! Here’s the thing! I hope to be online late afternoon/early evening PT to celebrate. See you then? Bring your towel 🙂 Check my Twitter/Snapchat for updated show time, and then come check me out at mfc.lintilla.net

First week back wrap up, and some Grumpy McGrumperson rules https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/24/first-week-back-wrap-up-and-some-grumpy-mcgrumperson-rules/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/24/first-week-back-wrap-up-and-some-grumpy-mcgrumperson-rules/#respond Tue, 24 Mar 2015 06:57:43 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=325 I had hoped to be online five days my first week back, but that didn’t end up working out. Cold virus and Camwhores closing and all that. I’m trying for the same thing this week, now that I’m feeling better. I’ll also be aiming to be online somewhat earlier than I have been, since it looks like I’ve got a bunch of viewers who go to bed much earlier than I tend to! I think I’m going to try for 6pm or 7pm PDT, and see how that works out. I’m still working on getting back into the groove of things, and figuring out what space and lighting works best, so bear with me!

I haven’t gotten my SM account reactivated yet, and I think I’m going to wait on that for a little while, because one change to my daily routine is probably enough for now. I plan on making some new clips in the near future though (and figuring out new profile pics and the like, since the old ones look nothing like me anymore…) That will most likely not happen until my cold is completely cleared up, because I’ve been absolutely exhausted all day, even though I’ve barely gotten off of my ass. I’m the worst at being sick, and I need about 12 hours sleep a night minimum until I’m done fighting it!

Everyone who currently has access to my Snapchat: I’m ending my extended free period for early adopters on April 15th. If you haven’t re-upped by then you will be deleted. Anyone who has won or paid for Snapchat access since March 15th, you’ll have one month of access from the day you were added. I’m working on reminder graphics at the moment to snap to people shortly before their time is up, so it won’t come out of nowhere (actually, they’re open in Photoshop on my other machine as I type this). I also want to remind everyone to check my story! A lot of my snaps go directly there and are not individually sent to everyone on my list, because dammit, can’t they add that “send to all” feature already? I’ll be offering lots of deals on Snapchat in my room for a while, since I’m trying to get a good number of people on my list. The more people I have added, the more motivated I feel to update frequently.

With my return to MFC came the return of a horde of people asking me…. “Skype bb?” So I just want to outline my current policy on that, and will update my profile with this information in the near future as well. My current rate is 100 tokens per minute, which is slightly higher than True Private, on the logic that you’re getting a higher quality stream. I will be very strict on time. An appointment needs to be agreed on and paid in advance, and I prefer 24hrs notice. I prefer to be available mainly before shifts on MFC. I will be setting up a new Skype account — you will receive this username after paying, and be deleted immediately after the session, as I do not use Skype as an instant messenger. This may all seem like a disincentive to set up a Skype session with me… which is by design, if you’re not someone who is alright following these guidelines! Should point out that I will absolutely, positively, never ever ever sign off of MFC in order to Skype with someone. First, that’s nowhere near 24hrs, is it. Second, although my room has been quite empty and slow so far, I’m not going to improve situation that by signing off before I’ve done my time. Also, I’m just not a very spontaneous person by nature. Simple things require mental (and whatever other type of) preparation for me. So, that’s that.

And this is this: the only form of payment I am currently accepting, outside of C4S and Bitcoins (which no one has used here yet :P), is MFC tokens. I’ve updated my checkout on this site to reflect the same information. This benefits my MFC camscore, and is also a form of payment that, unlike something like GiftRocket, I can confirm just about immediately (as long as you remember to leave a tip note, grrr). Plus, unlike gift cards, I can pay my rent with the payout. I will still gladly accept gift cards and wishlist purchases if you’re feeling generous (though, I don’t think I currently have a wishlist set up), but this is currently not acceptable to me as payment for anything. If you don’t like this system, tough titty. I’ve had too many people pushing the boundaries of what I’m okay with, so in order to stop myself saying “welllll, maybe just this onnnnnnce” I feel the need to set some definite rules. Any of this might change at any time, but either way… my word is law :p

And with that necessary grumping and rule-outlining over with… I’m going to get back to my night off (Mondays always SUCK) Project Runway marathon, and to and completely failing to put away my mountain of laundry. I ought to be on MFC again tomorrow night. Doop doop doop etc.

Update on my return, also known as I am slightly a liar https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/15/update-on-my-return-also-known-as-i-am-slightly-a-liar/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/15/update-on-my-return-also-known-as-i-am-slightly-a-liar/#respond Sun, 15 Mar 2015 23:01:33 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=310 So, my very smart self forgot that the 15th is the end of the pay period on various camsites including MFC where I was planning to return to, so that would just be a silly day to come back. I was going to make it my final show on CW instead, buuuuut, nah, I decided screw you guys, I’m gonna go drink green beers and play board games instead. Well, not screw you guys, but I might as well, since I’m going to TRY to be consistent on cam in the near future and so I’ll have less time to do such things unless I were to switch to daytime… and that shit ain’t happening.

So I will hopefully see whoever reads this nonsense tomorrow, March 16th, on MFC at… I dunno what time, but I’m going to try for maybe something like 7pm Arizona time, which is currently also known as 7pm MST or 7pm PDT because we don’t have daylight saving time over here just to be confusing to the rest of you. But I will certainly update with tweets and such to let you know how many hours later than that I actually end up being 😛 (But hey, it’s only 4pm now and I’m dressed — why couldn’t that happen two days in a row?)

Still going to try to fit in Camwhores, I just don’t know when. Where does the time all go…? What the heck did I do with the rest of March?

Beware the Ides of March! My return is imminent! https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/05/beware-the-ides-of-march-my-return-is-imminent/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/03/05/beware-the-ides-of-march-my-return-is-imminent/#respond Fri, 06 Mar 2015 04:23:57 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=307 Or take note of them, or something. In your calendar. Takes place on the usual date this year.

My apartment is finally starting to resemble a home. I’ve got both my desktop and laptop freshly formatted and reinstalled with Windows 8 after one catastrophic drive failure and one major backup operation that took days and days. I’ve got a shiny new webcam, so there won’t be anymore crapping out in the middle of broadcasting because of loose connections (the old one was absolutely ancient…. I was insane not to upgrade sooner, and I think everyone will be happy with the improved video quality!)

And now I’ve got a date for you. March 15th. I haven’t decided if I will be using MyFreeCams or Chaturbate as my main spot, nor have I decided on a time. For those of you who still keep an eye on me, I’d really appreciate it if you could comment or otherwise respond if you have a particular preference in these matters. My gut tells me to go with MFC and stick with late evening, but it will definitely take some effort to get my score back up, so hopefully you guys are ready to give me your support.

I’ll also most likely be making use of Streamate outside of my yet-to-be-established regular schedule, and absolutely will have new clips up on Clips4Sale at hopefully regular intervals, though what I post there may not necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea (always open for customs and the odd suggestion if not too detailed, though).

I’ve also been saddened to learn that Camwhores.com will be shutting down on March 17th. I haven’t started uploading there again, but will unarchive myself in the next week or so. I’ll absolutely be posting some updates as well as scheduling one final show. If you were or are a member of that site, you must come check that out. I think it was 2005 that I posted my first images on CW, though my current archives don’t go back that far (archives did not always work the same way so I was removed from the site entirely at one point), so I’m just going by timestamp/caption on some of my saved pics, and the apartment in those images that I haven’t lived in for years and years!

If I can get my files sorted out I have some vague idea of offering a huge set of my archived cam photos from the early to mid 00’s. You have no idea how unorganized my HD is at the moment, so it may take some doing, but I’d really love to share that content somehow.

Anyway, that’s what’s up with me. I’m about done getting settled, marginally acclimated to my new city, working on making some new IRL friends, and working on getting my camming back on track. I hope you’ll join me for whatever the hell I get up to starting the middle of this month! Sorry for being generally uncommunicative and generally blah lately, but I have major anxiety issues at the best of times, and moving was such a major upheaval! I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine. It’s kind of necessary, even!

Watch my Twitter/Tumblr/this space/the visions in your head/etc. for the specifics once they are known sometime within the next week and a bit!

And stay in touch! I demand it!

Hello, Arizona! https://www.lintilla.net/2015/02/08/hello-arizona/ https://www.lintilla.net/2015/02/08/hello-arizona/#respond Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:53:20 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=281 I am oh so verrrryyyy slowly getting settled into my new apartment. It was only two days ago that I finally got everything put away that I could, and everything else that requires more storage options to be purchased before they can be unpacked are at least now out of the way in my closet. No more random boxes in every room! Which is making things look quite bare at the moment, since I moved without the majority of my furniture, and since furniture that doesn’t suck is all expensive and shit, I’m still working on getting what I need.

I’ve made a very few videos lately, but plan on increasing my efforts starting in the near future, now that my place is semi presentable. I’m also hoping to start live camming again, possibly by the beginning of March or so, but as of now this is what my cam room looks like:

Bare cam room

I have a desk on the way, so while I might have a pretty boring looking setup for a while, I should be able to get back in business once I get that in place. Hurry up, Amazon!

Goodbye, Chicago https://www.lintilla.net/2014/12/23/goodbye-chicago/ https://www.lintilla.net/2014/12/23/goodbye-chicago/#respond Wed, 24 Dec 2014 00:35:51 +0000 https://www.lintilla.net/?p=270 Some of you know that I’m moving in the near future to Arizona. Well, I guess anyone reading this knows as of the previous sentence. That’s why I’ve been a bit non-responsive and updating things even less frequently than usual. Bear with me, I should be flying to my new place (which I was off for a week or so finding and purchasing furniture for) sometime at the beginning of January. Anyone who has purchased Snapchat from me will keep access at least until I’m settled etc. Anyone who is thinking of adding me can go ahead for my currently low as fuck $5. If you add it to the cart on this website, instructions for completing your order with Bitcoin or with other off-site methods like gift cards, cam sites or Google Wallet will be shown to you at checkout. And of course, I have some videos up, too, if any of you haven’t got those you’re interested in already.

Aside from that, I won’t be on cam or Skype or etc. until I am all moved in and whatnot. But please don’t forget I exist. I’ll definitely be back in the new year. Shit’s just all sorts of stressful and hectic right now, so I need to deal with my head exploding constantly before things can get back to normal. Send pizza and kittens. See ya in 2015!
