 * sick for 2.5 days

 * started old 3PI loading to PSPS, this involved:
  * changes to main loading program to load old 3PI within certain ra/dec bounds. Started with RA 9-10 hrs
  * found corruption with 3PI DVO database, Gene pointed me to a backup
  * mix of old and new smf files meant KRON fields sometimes missing. Solution: no KRONs in any old data loaded to PSPS
  * set up (with Gavin's help) ipp045 for ippToPsps loading (scratch database etc)
  * investigated batches rejected from DXLayer: Carefully re-submitted them

 * Other ippToPsps development:
  * metrics program now estimates time to completion
  * fixed bug where nebulous failures were causing a crash. Exception is now caught and handled
  * fixed issue where stored procedures were not installed correctly by code
  * wrote program to set-up a scratch database, including installing the relevant stored procedures and init tables

 * Other:
  * czartool: fixed bug I introduced last week (pending stuff was being reported as complete)
  * added a description of old 3PI loading on the news page
=== Mark Huber ===
 Spent majority of the week untangling LAP after a couple systems went down and keeping it running.  Released MD04-g very deep test stack and started one for r-band. Continued to debug ppStack very deep stack and ppSub issues.

This week was spent debugging various things and enhancing the ippTools to help keep LAP running smoothly.

 * Modified regtool to make it straightforward to mark a rawImfile as lost.
 * Added a mode to chiptool to make it straightforward to drop a chip that can not be processed by the update system.
 * The update processing for the postage stamp server just stopped working midweek. Debugged this for awhile. It seems that pantasks just got tired. Need to restart occasionally.
 * two days as processing czar
 * destreaked and bundled the SAS2 raw images for MPG. They are of interest to the EUCLID project.
 * helped a couple of users with some postage stamp problems.
 * one vacation day to complete painful change of residence.
