Tax time

Yay! It’s tax time. It’s time to tear off the plastic off the Macintax, download a copy of my state forms (NJ and NY), and mail off my three extension requests (plus the estimated owing, natch).

More updates on this three or six months from now.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: Peter van der Linden, who wrote one of my favorite C books (Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets) has apparently left the Sun compiler group for Apple. He recently posted on Usenet (comp.sys.mac.programmer.misc) looking for an intern with some very high qualifications. I was skeptical of the e-mail (a Yahoo account) but the Apple employees seem to be backing him up. It looks to me from the job description as if they want someone to do automated testing frameworks using Java, perhaps JUnit—no, “internal Apple automated GUI test tools,” and Applescript and shell scripting, also C/C++. Java would make sense if it were PvdL, who did some work on Java. Hm. Automated test suites, and they’re expecting interns to handle the test plan? Pfft.

Quality automated testing is so hard to find. Oh, wait, no it isn’t—here we are! It’s just rather expensive.
