Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

Heather Flewelling

Heather spent the week investigating/tweaking/testing the new static mask (with magic). Heather ran into multiple problems as czar, and spent more than she would like on burntool/registration problems. Heather also worked with JT this week to process the missing MD stacks (stacks that should exist, but for some reason, do not).

• spent lots of time looking for disk space on the cluster. Found significant portion from October - November that was missed by automatic cleanup
• Looked into problem reported by a postage stamp user who asserted that requests for stamps from a reported detection returned no overlap. It turned out to be user error. The coordinates were outside the exposure.
• Two days as acting processing czar.
• Investigated by stack-stack diffs weren't getting queued. Once we cleared out the backlog MD03 still wasn't getting queued. The problem was an incorrect template entry in the survey book.
• Lost several hours over two days due to dental work.
• Investigated and fixed some problems with registration.
• Investigated errors in distribution clean up.
• Fixed some problems on the data store caused by incomplete clean up.
• recovered from vacation email back log.
• started thinking about generating "unmagicked" postage stamps from destreaked images by saving the excised pixels and putting them back for authorized users.
