My old phone served me well, had it for about 5 years and while it does still work, the screens on it are kinda messed up. I have to keep taking the battery out in order to reset them if I want to be able to see the call display or the number I’m [...]

Lots of Gadgets

Posted on June 6, 2009 - Filed Under Business, gadgets | Leave a Comment

After putting up the new shelf for the gameboy games I had room to spread out a lot of the little gadgets properly. The iPods and other mp3 players, the digital cameras, the controllers and memory cards and so on. Still feels like there isn’t enough room for everything, but it’s getting better. [...]

A few weeks ago I finally got around to moving some things around. I don’t think I really got ahead as far as storage space goes, but it does look a lot nicer than it used to. Before there was just a flat counter top with stuff stacked up wherever it would fit, [...]

No, not that POS, a Point of Sale system! The program I’m using was written by a friend of mine, and even though it gets the job done I’d love to have a lot of new features added to it. Unfortunately he doesn’t work on it anymore so I’m stuck with it as [...]

I’ve been planning to do this for ages but never seem to find the time or the equipment I need to get it done. I want to set up a small but decent size TV in the movie section, running trailers for new releases as well as older popular movies that are for rent [...]
