• vacation on Friday

• some big ippToPsps changes to improve usability:
  • configs are now stored in a database table
  • created base-class for all programs which:
    • sets up config and logger
    • handles graceful exiting (including catching Ctrl-C)
    • handles pausing, killing and checking for config changes via Db

• instead of each loader client queuing stuff up, a 'queue' program writes a list in the db for all clients to see:
  • this required some new tables: pending is stored by 'boxes' on sky so that the new DVO ingest code can be used if necessary
  • these and some other database tables now use foreign key relationships with cascading delete enabled for safety

• wrote plotter program to create nice density plot of still-to-be-processed stuff for a given config
• all loaders now automatically choose an available scratch database.

• PSPS
  • added section detailing Gene's recommended detection cuts to wiki FAQ
  • fixed PSVO plugins to use Sue's workaround for BIGINT detection masks
  • support emails
