Welcome to:

The Biggest Little Team Ever.

Our team has been here from the start and our members have contributed countless hours towards the development of SETI and Boinc.

Since our humble beginnings we've grown and expanded into other projects.

Our goal as a team has evolved from the search for extraterrestrial intelligence to the search for solutions to the many questions we have about our universe and the planet we live on.

We're a friendly bunch who have gathered together from all corners of the globe to take part in a fascinating project, to try and find the answer to the ultimate question .

We now have over 300 members working on over 60 projects from at least 35 different countries.

Maybe humour is universal after all, it can't be the intellectual content!

We're not into statistics and we don't care how hard your drive is. We just love having a good time and meeting and greeting new people whilst we crunch.

This is a team for people that think distributed computing can have a positive impact on the way the world works and have fun while doing it.

Go check out the team over on the team members page and if you feel the urge why not come and join us.

We have a message board over on Yuku, it's an active forum where we all tend to meet up and exchange stories, ideas, etc. You'll get details on how to access it when you sign up with The Final Front Ear.

Welcome aboard The Final Front Ear!

How it all came about?

In a Galaxy far away......sorry wrong story...

How did it all come about?

Originally know as "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society" our merry band was born out of a late night conversation and more than a few sherbets. The name itself is taken from an episode of Red Dwarf.

As you probably know, I rarely take anything too seriously, this project included. So I was surprised when, one by one, the team list began to grow. The first few members came over from Carolyn's Clinic as they switched over to Boinc, so they knew what to expect!

So...the name change...

I suppose we realised that if the team was to grow we needed to have a more "mature name". The name might have changed, but the humour hasn't!

Site design.

This is your site, so we need your ideas, articles, humour . . . .anything, (well almost!) to keep The Final Front Ear up there with the top teams.

What we need:

  • Content - Create new or enhance and add to old...
  • New images, backgrounds, logos (with transparent backgrounds.)...
  • Suggestions for improvements in layout, style, theme, colours...

 

 

   

OUR DOGBYTES

Memorial for Dennis.

He was a larger than life character with a heart of gold and a booming laugh that could be heard across continents. I wish I could still hear that laugh...
