Yesterday I finally got around to asking Raincoaster about the snazzy social networking icons she has on her posts. And she gave me the scoop on Get Social.
So I am now adding Get Social icons to my posts and have back-dated them to August 1st. Which took more time than I would like to admit. But doing it on a daily basis takes no time at all. Anyhow, what do you think? Cute? Garish? Have no idea what to do with them?
Must start doing shortlinks from now on…

It’s been a couple of weeks now … has anybody noticed that I’ve changed my font here to Century Gothic? I also changed the width to fluid up to a maximum of 1075 pixels (it was 1270 before), though only people with 17″+ widescreens would notice any difference. CG has been my favourite font for years. I love the roundness of it and think it looks quite elegant. I use it on all my other blogs and, since making the font change here, casa az feels a lot more like “my place”. Now if I could just figure out how to get rid of that damned blue background in my comments…
What’s your favourite font?

Coming to you live from Málaga via dongle!
Imagine my shock and horror surprise when Manolo informed me the other day that his apartment in Málaga didn’t have internet. Well okay, I’d half expected this to be the case as he only spends occasional weekends here, but there I was left with just a few short days to find a solution. Because my whole “being on holiday” image included me sitting on the apartment terrace, looking out at the Mediterranean and listening to the waves, with a cold beverage , a good book, and Shadow at hand. And so I went of in search of a dongle …

Picked up Sexy Beast from computer hospital yesterday, all shiny and freshly repaired. The previous day Susan (aka Pipocas) had dropped off an extra printer she had at home and won’t be taking back to the US when she moves next month. The printer on my 3-in-1 machine had been broken for ages but the scanner still works, so now both are set up on the bookshelf unit. Compared to the old “blogging space” things are a bit more cluttered, but also much more functional. A few more shots below…

Awhile back there was a desktop “me-me” going around and at the time I posted the images I had on both Sexy Beast and my old Jaguar desktop computer. Now that I have Shadow I thought I’d post this update and maybe see what others have on their desktops. Because Shadow is all charcoal grey and black I opted for something very bright and colourful. It’s the full image of one of the rotating headers I have on azahar’s Sevilla. Makes me smile.
What’s on your desktop these days?
