Random things found in my work email client’s note section #449821a…

Published on 7 August 2010 in TV Programmes, Star Trek

Sorting out some work emails, I randomly hit Outlook’s “notes” section. I don’t really use the “Notes” section bar for keeping a few bits of regularly used information that… err… I usually don’t use. Things like links to Telewest’s cable monitoring services which probably stopped working in about 2007, an old defunct FTP password for the BBC’s website and details of how to get the secret, not very well hidden testcard on the BBC Red Button.

The last note was added in 2008. The first in July 2003.

There were two from 2003, and they went like this:

I think it was some sort of “Make your own Star Trek Adventure” idea, although why Doctor Bashir is an alien, well frankly, that is anyone’s guess…
