The Star Trek Archive

Right then, now that we have been doing this full on techie geek stuff - I think that puts us in just the right position to relax but still stay with the geek - this time Star Trek geek. The link you need is http://starchive.cs.umanitoba.ca/?stardates/

Have you ever wondered when the captain of the enterprise said "stardate 47622.1" what that meant? Well here is a site that explains Star Trek stardates - and who said the web was pointless.

So if you want to know why the Star Trek original series had dates that were four characters long and the next generation five - this is the place to go. Oh and there are other resources for the interested reader - not least "A history of ships named Enterprise". Surely a must for everyone
