The stardate system is a time standard used by the United Federation of Planets. For those who didn't get a frack from what was being said, I'm talking about Star Trek. One of the best Sci-Fi series in the world. Other fans like me succeded in finding a correlation between stardates and the gregorian calendar. For pure calculation, I used the docs from Andrew Main, Stardates in Star Trek FAQ.
Here I offer stardate calculation widgets, based on the two known systems, the one from the Original Series (TOS), and the one from The Next Generation (TNG). For the moment, I have two versions availiable, one for Yahoo! Widgets, and one for Apple Dashboard. Please note that those widgets are based on the Star Date Windows application, also from me. 😉
