About Me

- Melbourne, VIC, Australia
- Jerrold is a recently migrated Melbourne based software engineer with roughly 5 years experience developing in Java and the web technology stack (HTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript, etc). More recently, he's started developing in Python (well, Jython, but close enough) and is unsure if it's flaws outweigh its advantages of having a more sugary syntax. He is currently working at a small South Melbourne based company which specialises in sales incentive management / reporting software, and is being schooled in the finer points of small company operations.

The Safeway at QV has them too, I'm not sure if I would call them an innovation. The voice over is inconsistent with the button labels on screen, you can't scan an item until the scale has detected you put the last one in the bag, you can't change bags once one is filled up without it screaming out warnings at you.
I've heard similar reports from others but you're actually the first to reply on my blog :)
The entire thing is a little tongue in cheek in regards to New Zealand innovating in EFTPOS technology, but you have to admit it is innovation (even though it's real buggy). A complete change in style in how we pay for groceries.
Teehee, that looks like Walters head but not his body.... he's got boobs!
Hint, I am wearing a yellow t-shirt.
