Just found myself looking at planets aligning in the year 2000 and realized that i started looking at moodle.

 

Heres the process:

1. Moodle 2.9 research
   
2. Moodle 3.0 research
   
3. Moodle 3.0 wishlist page where someone said about how moodle will be affected by the 2038 bug <---- Start of off topicness
   
4. Googled the UNiX 2038 as i hadn't seen it in a while
   
5. Found a page on disaster countdown which listed planets aligning
   
6. Googled images of planets aligning in the year 2000
   

 

How off topic have you been online?

Update:

Ok, now ive found myself looking at a cctv camera with a review

This was bought on impulse. My chickens kept escaping camera worked perfect. Ducks helping chickens escape. Camera gives a great image day and night recommended buy

Got here looking at headphones

Wikipedia is always good for that, youtube too..

 

We used to play a game during lunch time, everyone starts on the same Wiki page, something normal like.. bill gates.. After 10 mins the person on the most bizarre wiki wins. Only allowed to click links within the article's.

It's also good for use in a class.

 

Start at [thing] > 10 links.

 

Explain what you were on and how it relates to the next/previous thing.

Haven't looked back since joining, lovely professional community to be fair.
