He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Okay, it's time to address one of my pet peeves. Why are ATMs designed to display the "Please Remove Cash" message before they actually dispense the cash? It's not like these machines don't know that they haven't dispensed the money yet, they just seem to be programmed to display the message as soon as approval for the deduction comes through rather than when it actually lets you take the cash. It seems like a very poor user interface decision to display instructions for something that can't yet be done. Things like this bother me more than they probably should, but it's seems very frustrating for a machine with such wide-spread use to have stupid flaws like this.
