 PS1SC meeting took the bulk of the week.  We had good conversations with folks about a variety of issues, especially the quality of the stacks, ubercal integration, and the photometry faint-end bias.  We have good guidance going forward on the priorities of the consortium.  The summary of our top development priorities is:

 * background structures in stacks
 * integration of the ubercal zero points
 * address detectability server bugs
 * convolution direction / excess smoothing issue in PSF matching

 * PS1SC meeting all week
  * did PSVO workshop in Tuesday
  * lots of questions and support the rest of the week
  * spent a lot of time talking with visitors about various PSPS/IPP issues

 * PSVO - lots of fixes and enhancements based of feedback from users:
  * now performing cleanup of old VOTables stored locally from previous sessions
  * fixed memory bug affecting large queries on fast queue
  * introduced popup offering promotion of a fast query to a slow query if it exceeds the time limit
  * fixed issue where results of slow queries needed to be downloaded from PSPS more than once if passed to other SAMP clients
  * failed queries on both queues now produce a popup with a readable error description
  * each query tab is now a 'split pane', meaning the relative sizes of the query and table parts of the panel can be adjusted by the user
  * query and catalog now stored in Derby history
  * right-clicking on a historical query row allows you to re-run it in a new tab
  * fixed bug where queries that included single quotes and saved to history could not be re-run
=== Mark Huber ===
 * PS1SC conference, sample of MD.GR0 slides
 * Couple days of LAP czar learning/untangling some updates stalling LAP processing.
 * PSVO testing and trying to create MD04 refstack sample of JPGs with WCS for overplotting in aladin.

This covers the past couple of weeks

 * Spent many many hours trying to fix M31 processed data that was lost when ipp064 went down a couple of weeks ago. In human terms it would have been easier to simply re-queue the data for processing. This task was finished on Tuesday Jan 10.
 * Fixed bug in astrometry that was causing the CNP fields to fail. Reprocessed all CNP data. They are now ready for analysis.
 * PS1SC conference
 * prepared and delivered a session on the postage stamp server
 * consulted with Johannes on potential ways we can improve the astrometry of the STS fields. We will test constructing a reference catalog from the PS1 data
 * debugged problem with ppImage crashing on chip XY17. The cause of the crash is a bug in psphot where threading is not used properly. Consulting with Gene and Paul Price points to a potential solution.
 * several days as acting processing czar
 * wrote a program to repair detect corrupt raw images and replace them with a good instance or mark as unavailable if all have been lost.
 * ran test of 5 filter staticsky photometry. There are some quality issues and a bug that need to be addressed before turning the code lose on the entire LAP data set

 * Vacation.
 * Conference.
 * Remembering what I was working on a month ago.
