A month or so ago – I was going thru’ our cctv cameras for the cops – because someone was in the store and tried to sell us some stolen stuff. We didn’t buy them – but we do have them on camera – as the store – is wired. And the fact that we [...]

We haven’t had time to go out and get our Christmas shopping done as the store had been really busy. So when customer/s tells us that they are all done or almost done with their Christmas present hunting – we are really envious – on the other hand ashamed of ourselves – because every year [...]

We used to rent and sell adult movies when we had a bigger store – but these days – even though we still have them – we don’t promote them unless someone asked – because currently we have no place for them and they are all in the basement. There is a Sister’s Sarah on [...]

I’ve been using a Magic Jack at home for a couple months now and while it doesn’t work pretty well I don’t think I’d recommend it for most people. The biggest problem with it in this area is that there’s no local numbers yet, so anytime I want to make a call I have [...]

I’ve been contemplating the new xbox 360 but since the one I’m using is still working fine I won’t rush out and buy one just for the looks. It has a 250gb internal hard drive, but since it’s internal I can’t just use my existing drive and that means shelling out to buy a [...]

We own our debit machine while most stores and businesses rents theirs. The debit machines are different from the POS systems that one uses to record your sales but it is a must to have in any businesses. Some 5 yrs ago, we were approached by a company that sells debit machine [...]

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 [...]

Owning a store like ours, sure has it perks. We do get a good bargain for some pretty cool used stuff like this Chrome version of the xbox 360 and at a very good price too. So while we were looking at GMAT prep courses one afternoon, along came this from a regular [...]

This summer we’re determined to get out of town at least a couple of times for short vacations. The first will be in a week or two, just a few days up in Halifax to get away, and then hopefully later in the summer we’ll get to go for a longer trip, maybe PEI [...]

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. [...]

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. [...]

A few weeks back I noticed an empty spot on a shelf, after a few minutes I realized what was missing and took a look at the inventory list in the computer. Sure enough that item was supposedly still in stock. Great, more shoplifters! I spent the afternoon rearranging the security cameras [...]
