Passing Tests
All the unit tests for the rogues gallery pass except the last and most important one. Image Magick is doing something strange when writing the jpeg image. It looks like versioning, but I still haven't figured it out.

More Testing
More unit tests and bug fixes on the Solaris side.

Porting
I finished my testing on the Mac and moved the code over to a Solaris system. I ran into problems caused by differences in file handling. In particular, Perl's cwd() method doesn't work. I made some modifications to the code, but some problems remain.

More Testing
More unit testing. I had some problems with the touch file that I'm trying to resolve.

Unit Testing
I spent the day unit testing my rogues gallery code. I ran into a snag with the id to filename conversion code. I hope to clear that up tomorrow.

Coding Rogues
I coded the RoguePhoto class, which does all the work required to update ldap and the photo gallery from a folder of photos. Along the way I modified the LdapData and RogueData classes to work with the RoguePhoto class.

LDAP Update
I succeeded in updating the test version of ldap from production. I then ran my email alias script. I don't understand some of the results, so I will check them out further before handing the results over to Otto.

LDAP Construction
I decided that the problem with ldap email was outdated info on the development machine. I wrote a script to synch the data with production. But there are still a few problems with missing fields. I also worked on some of the code that will be needed for the photo gallery, generalizing what I have now so that it can be reused.

New Leaf
I presented the photo gallery to Danny and he was mostly happy with what I had done. I started looking at the issues that Otto had raised about ldap / email. So far I'm confused by what I'm finding.

Goal Reached
I got the unit tests working, got the update script working, and tweaked the look and feel of the photo gallery so that it's now fit to present to management.
