Argh - leaking my own information
I was conferencing with someone online and they wanted to view and record my desktop. Since I had to access the conferencing invitation through e-mail, my e-mail client was open. Two times I inadvertently shared my open e-mail box with them, and it includes numerous e-mail from this forum.
I closed it instantaneously, but even if they weren't watching at that moment, they were recording it.
I couldn't bring myself to say anything about it. Not to ask the view to be deleted from the recording or anything. I figured there was really nothing to do about it. It's not like I can take it back and I didn't want to draw more attention to it.
But I'm really upset that I did that. I could have just forwarded the invitation to another e-mail address that I don't use for much stuff, and I didn't. I could have just closed the client before I shared my desktop but I left it open just in case the connection was lost and I needed to start the session again.
I'm also not too happy with how Google seems to be sending me advertisements for bankruptcy when I'm in the gmail user interface. I think I would prefer less unification and more of a sense that my privacy is not constantly being invaded, even by non-human programming code.
