After having so much problem with viruses last week I decided it’s time I start doing regular backups, at least of the important data, the stuff that isn’t easy to get back. I realized that if my POS software were to get completely ruined it would take a looong time to restore. Nearly [...]

I love what we are doing – I’m proud of the man who owns this store because he always takes care of his customers. Heck! we are so good, we even tell our customers where to get acne treatment one time, when this poor kid can’t get a date because of it.
But [...]

I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up an online store for years now, but it’s a lot of work to set up and maintain. Getting shopping cart software is easy, but getting something that would tie in with my existing POS software is all but impossible. I’ve looked into online fulfillment [...]

There’s been a fair number of calls lately from people looking for various laptop problems, wondering if I have parts for certain types in stock or just laying around in the back room.

For a while I toyed with the idea of having a separate computer in the house to use as a media server. The plan was to stick it in a closet or in the basement. It wouldn’t have to be an overly powerful or fast system, it would just need tons of storage. [...]

Living in a town with 1 radio station can make it difficult to hear new music, especially since hard rock/heavy metal is what I normally listen to. I’ve been introduced to more ‘new’ music through Rock Band & Guitar Hero then pretty much any other method of listening. So what do you do [...]

I don’t know if it’s just bad luck on my part or what, but we seem to go through a lot of routers here. At home I’ve only had to replace the router once and we needed to get a wireless one anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. Here we’ve had one [...]

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of my day today was learning that Coca Cola is pumping 5 million bucks into it’s SOGO Active program in collaboration with ParticipACTION. The program is targeted at youths and teens in an effort to help them become more active.
As an added incentive to get more people interested [...]

A few weeks ago I decided to create a Facebook group for the store, a few people joined, then a few more, and we eventually had 45 members. I was hoping it would have grown a little faster so I could make more use out of it for ‘free’ advertising, but we’ll get [...]
