  • July 28: field questions and data cleanup questions from Kerda & Joe & Adrian
  • travelling
  • July 19: try to remove duplicated records (esp. those with empty titles) which are preventing the addition of a unique constraint
  • July 18: run correspondent join on properties and correspondents table to match previous project; sync with Adrian and Abhi
  • July 17: redo db operations after cleaning up granted patent number bugs
  • July 13: powwow about parallelizing Enclosing Circle Algorithm; sketch out what to do for the rest of the summer; work more on joins
  • July 12: generate some example data illustrating the difficulty of joining different tables
  • July 11: track down some bugs that happen very rarely and were missed in the initial qa phase
