[12:27:45 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I have the town board meeting about my basement flooding tonight 
[12:27:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh good luck!
[12:28:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> hope there's some progress there
[12:28:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah, this is to see if they'll cover any of the costs
[12:28:36 CST(-0600)] <athena> are they doing something to make sure that doesn't happen again?
[12:29:02 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well we had a backwater valve (one way sewer valve) installed
[12:29:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> at our expense
[12:29:09 CST(-0600)] <athena> ugh
[12:29:13 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but it should prevent us from getting it again
[12:29:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> though it means our neighbors are SOL if it happens again
[12:30:33 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah 
[12:30:33 CST(-0600)] <athena> well, hope they decide to pay for osme of it
[12:37:29 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> more stats will be awesome though
[12:37:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> JimH will be very excited
[12:37:38 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh good 
[12:37:45 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm working on getting our HRS portlets open sourced this week and text
[12:37:46 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> next
[12:37:50 CST(-0600)] <athena> in the longer term i think we need some UX planning to figure out how to organize the reports, etc.
[12:37:52 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but after that I have some stats plans too
[12:37:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> but for now just getting the info out there would be goo
[12:37:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh great
[12:38:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> primarily I want to write a "nightly email report"
[12:38:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh fun!
[12:38:26 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I figure we can report on a bunch of useful portal state stuff
[12:38:36 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that could be very useful for more passive monitoring
[12:38:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[12:38:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> that would be nice
[12:45:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh also
[12:46:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> i'd like to have Naenyn take a look at starting some work on https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Proposal:++A+Strategy+for+Managing+User+Attributes+from+Multiple+Sources
[12:46:28 CST(-0600)] <athena> it seems like we had enough consensus on that plan to move forward with writing some code
[12:46:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok
[12:46:36 CST(-0600)] <athena> are you ok with that?
[12:50:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yerah
[12:50:17 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I think that sounds like a good plan
[12:50:50 CST(-0600)] <athena> ok, cool
[15:11:00 CST(-0600)] <athena> hmm. my portal instance is sad right now
[15:12:36 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ?
[15:12:44 CST(-0600)] <athena> going to revert a few files and see
[15:13:07 CST(-0600)] <athena> it keeps saying org.jasig.portal.security.PortalSecurityException: PersonManager returned null person for this request. With no user, there's no UserInstance. Is PersonManager misconfigured? RDBMS access misconfigured?
