• Installed new version of IPP at MPIA. Ran into some build problems with optimized code on old compiler. (This is a known issue but I forgot).
• Spent several hours debugging some issues with dvomerge for MPIA. We now have a working method for merging a subset of ps1 and sdss dvo catalogs
• debugged problem with the "lossy compression" system
• Accidentally deleted the reference stack bundles from the distribution data store again. Need to find a way to prevent this from happening.
• Spent two days as processing czar. I get little useful work done on these days.
• Ran into space crunch again. Spent far too much time trying to recover space and dealing with flaky nodes. Aren't computers and disks cheaper than me?

• Linearity: continued work to implement software fix in ppImage.
• Disk Space: tried to figure out where all our disk space has gone. Tracked at least some of it down to over-duplicated data. Have implemented a neb-countcheck program that can be used to scan the database for data that either needs to be culled or replicated, but have not added the pantasks back end that is needed to do this scanning.
• Detectability: fixed bug in update processing that should allow requests to process correctly. Received email about a post-fix request that was processing correctly.
• Shutter mask: looked at a few hundred exposures to confirm that the mask seems to block out star glints.
• Liason: queued up requested data for JHU. For this data, data_group LIKE '%czw%';
• Bug fixes for new tag (psLib, psModules, ippmonitor).
• Flying to Belfast.
