In which Meredith gets along with people

Yet another discussion with my adviser that didn't turn into a fight. I am, in a word, amazed.

(And he was even being critical this time: he pointed out a general use-case for QBE which my machine-learning library supports but my SQL syntax doesn't. So now I get to dive back into the grammar and fix that, but it won't be hard -- and it's the right time to do it, since I haven't really gotten started implementing ranking yet. So, look for that update sometime around the end of this month/beginning of next.)

i'm so glad that in college, you only have to visit your adviser when you're required to do so - which is about once a year. this is very helpful, seeing as how advisers generally suck at advising, and the only purpose for the meeting is for you to state what you're about to do and have the adviser smile and nod (cause no way in hell she can make any sense of what you're going to do anyway... since when are sociologists compatible with physicists?!) um.. yeah ;)
