• 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.
