@msh210, I'd never heard of a hod.

@DoubleAA sorry, didn't see this when you posted!

@HodofHod, a belated happy birthday!

I didn't realize you could get Yearling badges in meta. That was quite the surprise tonight. :-)

@MonicaCellio You can get most badges on meta. meta.judaism.stackexchange.com/q/898/759

@DoubleAA true, but I had assumed that main+meta is one account with two aspects, rather than two separate accounts. Did the clock start running on meta the day I created the account or the first time I visited meta? (A year later I've no idea if I visited meta on the first day. I might have if there was a site banner on main directing me there.) Eh, whatever -- it was just a head-scratcher.

@MonicaCellio So you also got a birthday :)

@MonicaCellio Thank you!

if we're looking for a speaker, what about the person who runs hebrewbooks.org?

@Menachem data.hebrewbooks.org/forms/feedbackform.html

@Jin Looks good!

@Menachem great idea!

@ShmuelBrin well, my birthday isn't until 21 Iyar, but close enough. :-)

@Menachem Do you know him?

FWIW, I think it would be awesome to get him to speak in general, not necessarily for the party. A million things I'd ask him/harass him about

@All, Sunday is @Monica's birthday!! @MonicaCellio you're in luck, we happen to be throwing a party that day! :D

@HodofHod I don't know him. I was on hebrewbooks.org/shas yesterday and noticed a chat option that popped up. So we started chatting. I told him about judaism.stackexchage.com, it didn't seem he was aware of it.

Thoughts? judaism.stackexchange.com/users/1040/jon

@Menachem Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if we are the biggest linker to his site. Maybe he should check his referrals.

@HodofHod we're having a party this Sunday? Or was that a causitive statement? :-)

@MonicaCellio The latter :{)

@HodofHod with 1000+ users, we can probably have a party every day if we want to. :-)

@Menachem where??

@HodofHod

@DoubleAA the "about me" you mean, or what?

@msh210 Yes. He only has that on his MY account. Look at his linked SE accounts.

@DoubleAA mhm.

a further suggestion about naming this chat room

@ShmuelBrin me either. It was the first time I ever saw it so I clicked on it.

@msh210 When we picked our chatroom name on Science Fiction and Fantasy, the top two proposals had an exact tie. The other mods didn't care, so I picked the one of the two that I hadn't proposed. This renewed interest in the thread, and a few days later my proposal had a clear lead. Later I asked again if we should change the name to the preferred proposal, and people said they'd grown fond of the name.

@Gilles Thanks.

so, toss a coin, I guess

Good Shabas, all.

@msh210 Shabat shalom

@msh210 a run-off vote (one vote per person) sounds good to me. Failing that, I guess I'd favor the least-contentious one, if such emerges. (E.g. if several have the same level but one is +10/-5 and another is +5/-0, go with the latter to minimize negative feelings. Just a thought, and right now N/A.)

@AdamMosheh Sabbatical salutations.
