• Bulk of week was PSPS training with Sue

• PSVO
  • some GUI fixes, e.g. graying-out query pane while query is running, new icons etc
  • fixed bug where temp VOTable files were not being deleted

• czartool: hacked slightly to include 'update' as well as 'new' to give reliable stats for LAP processing

• sick on Friday

Mark Huber

• Czar Monday, Tuesday, Friday + LAP
• MD04 deep test stack g-band setup and running, MD07 refstack prep
• ppStack testing: tracked down ~300 input to limit in executing shell, tracing excess memory usage and generation of overly large PSF in convolved stacks
• ppSub testing continued
• raid throughput and psphotstack testing while reprocessing stalled

Bill Sweeney

• Debugged several strange problems with updates triggered by postage stamp requests. There are still some wormholes that dependency checking gets lost in. (The cluster problems did not help)
• Tried to install the IPP on a new system at MPIA. The version of the O/S that they have is causing problems. Need help from Gene.
• during some time when work was stopped because nebulous was turned off pressed the Ubuntu upgrade button for my desktop. This turned out to be a very expensive choice. It seems that the developers are attempting to make Ubuntu look like some Microsoft Windows or perhaps like MacOS. Anyways what they have done is unusable. It took me the better part of the day getting things set up again. Sigh
• Figured out why ppStack doesn't work off of the IPP trunk. Gene integrated a fix.
• vacation 1 day (moving residence).
