• merging of the ThreePi minidvodbs are done (except for 2 that need some work).
• czar for 1 day
• created databases for Jim: dvodb of the cam stage MD04s, and dvodb of the static sky MD04 stacks (Bill set up the staticsky).
• updated addRun database and checked in changes to addstar to handle different stages (cam and staticsky are tested to be working).
• booked flights, hotels, and registrations for PS1SC and AAS conference
• worked on videophotometry stuff for pavlos - still working on it.

Roy Henderson

• ippToPsps
  • wrote a C program (based on old code) for interfacing with DVO. Gets called from Jython code to populate database tables for quick detection matching
  • talked to STILTS developer in UK and got a fix for ignoring the infinity values that sneak into IPP FITS files causing problems
  • made numerous PSPS schema changes with Jim
  • code changes within ippToPsps to deal with schema changes
  • wrote a more generic FITS header parser for image meta extensions for detections (STILTS doesn't read headers)
  • tested Heather's new DVO Db containing stacks: success. Was able to pull out object IDs
  • more work on detection batches with Jython.

• PSVO:
  • finished changes necessary to implement Daniel's query builder:
    • wrote PSPSSchema as subclass of abstract Schema class. Figures out tables, columns, constraints and populates Schema fields
    • added the GUI stuff necessary to pop up builder, passing it relevant Schema and Listener objects

• vacation on Wednesday
