Remembering Fintan

2009-06-06T00:02:00.000-07:00

Fintan Darragh was one of my online friends and he died recently. This post is a memorial to him and a way for me to say goodbye.I hope it gives his friends and family more insight into who he was.

I thought it more appropriate to post this here than at my blog because Fintan was part of 2 Lazy 2 Blog.

-----

I "met" Fintan in 2005 when I came across a blog of his called The Record Card. I found the blog interesting and loved Fin's sense of humour. Fintan was quite the blogger and always had several blogs on the go. The Record Card was a good blog but Fintan really made his mark with Dech. Fin promoted the blog and it "sold itself" as people found the posts useful and interesting.

Fintan was an active member of 2 Lazy 2 Blog. Like the other members he found it a fun blog to read and to post to. He took part in the contests and won first place in the Logo Contest. He also made a habit of visiting the blogs of other members and commenting on posts. Fin understood how important "community" was to a blog like this and we all appreciated his efforts.

Fintan was a great photographer and he was quite active at Flickr. He took many photographs and won awards for some of them.

His photo "Chill Out Buster" was published in JPG Magazine. At Flickr the photo has had 15,020 views, has been commented on 147 times. At the moment 532 people call the photo a favourite. The photo says a lot about Fintan. He was doing something he loved with a friend (Buster) and doing it in a place he liked. To top it off he was recognized for the effort.

Besides Photography and Blogging Fintan enjoyed Computers. He was an avid web designer and also did programming. He had a design company called Market West and an educational site called Buster Tests. I followed both sites and provided feedback when Fintan asked for it. I used "My Buster Tests" to create various surveys and was waiting for Surveyar.

I began to lose touch with Fintan as he got busier at university and we both blogged less. I managed to check his Flickr site and Dech every so often and sometimes he would comment on one of my blogs. Sometimes we could chat for a bit on MSN and it would end with me saying something like "pet Buster for me". Fin would laugh (or at least smiley) at that.

Fintan could make me laugh. One time he was testing a voicemail system and he sent me a silly nonsense message. It made my day and is one of the reasons I liked the guy.

When I found out about Fintan I was quite sad. He had so much potential and had a positive effect on many people. Fintan died in his sleep on May 6th. He was 21.

Goodbye Fintan.

Header Experiments

2007-01-02T23:38:00.000-08:00

I have been experimenting with modifying the new Blogger templates and have found some interesting things. I will do a write up in BBD about it.

The contest winning header by Fintan is now in our footer. The usual minima-template header is above the posts for now in case i want to put it back without reinstalling the template.

The header being used now won second place in our contest. It was created by Stephen. I wanted to check it out and try it. It is a nice logo.

Old Posts/Labels

2007-01-02T22:36:00.000-08:00

I may properly label the old posts in this blog in the future. For now I just labelled them 'old'.

Changes: Upgraded Template

2006-12-28T02:21:00.000-08:00

I upgraded the template to the new format. I haven't figured out how to add the graphic header yet. The new template style is harder to get used to. The cartoon we used to have doesn't work in the sidebar widgets so I discarded it.

We now have labels so try them out.

Young Bloggers/Young Writers

2006-11-12T03:23:00.000-08:00

Anyone who reads my blogs for any length of time knows I like to encourage other bloggers. I love blogging and feel it has helped me make new friends and it has helped me maintain my writing skills.

When I get bored or I want something new to read I use Blog Search to find blogs. When a blog looks interesting I bookmark it and read some of the posts. I always try to comment because I like comments on my blogs and by commenting I may attract a new reader. I also know what it is like to write a good post and not have any comments.

When I find blogs written by younger bloggers I like to mention them here since most of the members are young themselves. I am cautious about this because of the "Mathew Incident".

Recently I was doing some searches as 'research' for a post at Big Blog Directory and came across a number of interesting blogs. I chose three that I thought appropriate for this blog. The bloggers are around the same age as many members of 2l2b. Furthermore, all three are actively posting in their blogs and all respond to comments.

life of a budding author by Duncan. Duncan is a young writer from the UK. He expresses himself quite well and has interesting ideas.

Lucas's Blog by Lucas. This blogger lives in Malaysia and blogs about life and technology. He also does some podcasts.

My Double Life by "Colin Night". Colin writes interesting fiction and poetry. Check out the introduction.

Take a moment to visit these blogs and say hello. You might like them.

2006-10-28T20:12:00.000-07:00

Wow, I really am too lazy to blog. The last time I posted an entry was February 23d of this year. Well, I'm in the right place aren't I, haha. I see Leon did most of the posting (nice job, Leon). Well, I just wanted to say hello. The reason I don't post on either blogs (Sudster and 2 Lazy) is that I have a lot of school work to do. I got a science test I have to take on Tuesday and I got some homework to do too. I still don't seem how 2 Lazy 4 Radio works. I need help with that. Over and out!

Watch Out! Gmail/Blogger Glitch

2006-08-17T00:12:00.000-07:00

This may only effect those of us experimenting with the blogger beta (which uses the same Google sign in used by Gmail).

I signed in to Gmail and then needed to check something in my blogger account. I signed into blogger and found what I needed and then signed out. Doing this also knocked me out of Gmail! and this blogger account uses a different username and password!

Make sure you save before opening and closing Gmail when using Blogger.

Update: I tried to make this happen again and couldn't. Hopefully it was a one time screw up.

From Masta To Geek

2006-08-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

The Masta has gone and morphed into Le Geek. His new blog is coming along fine. I will change all his member links when we get accounts sorted out.

Update: He changed again.

Testing New Blogger Features

2006-08-16T21:00:00.000-07:00

I did a quick test of the new things that will be coming to blogger.

I didn't make the blog private and html editing doesn't work yet but it still looks nice. I did change the colour of my background in about 3 seconds and two mouse clicks.

Adding sidebar links is sooo easy now as are other sidebar elements.

My experimental blog is here.

Check out the new features. (via)

It will be nice to see how these changes work out.

Find Your IP

2006-08-11T02:55:00.000-07:00

I used to use IP Chicken to find my current IP for sites like Statcounter. IP Chicken disappeared and I hadn't found a similar site until Shogun told me about IP2Location.

My Religion

2006-08-09T03:32:00.000-07:00

You are a Self-Discoverer

You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.
Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.
You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.
You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans.

What's Your Religious Philosophy?

This is quite an accurate description of my beliefs.

No Surprises -- Geek/Nerd

2006-07-22T05:37:00.000-07:00

I took two quizzes at Quizfarm and scored as a Geek/Nerd.

What Highschool Clique Do You Belong To? - gave me these results and I answered a question to break the tie.

Emo Kid = 53%

Loner = 53%

Geek/Nerd =53%

Goth = 27%

"Ghetto" = 20%

Punk = 20%

Hot = 13%

Jock = 13%

Stoner = 7%

Prep = 0%

In the second quiz I was 60% Nerd and 20% Emo. I had very low scores as punk, chav, and skater.

The quizzes were okay but the graphics/tables were crappy and messed up the blog.

What turns you off: fighting and conflict

Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love

Music Videos

2006-07-13T01:56:00.000-07:00

I have been finding some cool music videos lately. These two videos feature boys singing.

The first is a group of talented Japanese boys doing a song called Venus.

Cute Asian Boys Singing

The second video features a German boy singing an aria (opera song). His vocalization is amazing.

I will soon be writing my 1000th post at Firemind and I am looking for guest posts. You can find out more in this post.

Shogun has just passed his 100th post and is also asking for guest posts.

No one has to participate and write posts for us. We just want to share some fun with our friends.

2 Lazy 2 Blog Wikipedia Entry

2006-06-26T10:14:00.000-07:00

The Masta started a Wikipedia entry for 2l2b and I edited it. However Wikipedia kept deleting it. This is what we wrote.

----

2 Lazy 2 Blog is a popular [[weblog]]. It has 15 members and is growing. Most of the members are under the age of 20 and come from various backgrounds. Members come from five countries on three continents. Our working language is English but we sometimes post bilingually in Dutch and English.

The blog is a place for members to hang out and share ideas. There are few rules and no obligations.

Members often refer to the blog as "2l2b" or "2 Lazy".

== History ==

The blog was created by [http://www.blogger.com/profile/1274993 Leon] on September 24th, [[2005]]. It was started because several bloggers said they didn't have a place to post things that didn't fit their personal blogs.

The idea was to create a [[group blog]]that was open to anyone whether they had a blog or not.

Various group activities were tried such as group chats and contests.

Recently several members started a companion music blog called [http://www.2lazy4radio.blogspot.com/ 2 Lazy 4 Radio].

Photo Editing And Viewing

2006-05-22T02:26:00.000-07:00

"Super Blogger" has been experimenting with Picassa in his blog. I haven't used the program yet but it seems more of a photo viewer/organizer than an editor.

In Linux I use GIMP to do any major editing of photos. It can be weird to use but it has good tools and it is free. There are also Windows and Mac versions.

For viewing photos and doing quick touch ups I like Irfanview. It is only for Windows.

Earthquakes!

2006-05-16T21:43:00.000-07:00

allows you to monitor global earthquakes in near real-time, visit seismic stations around the world, and search the web for earthquake or region-related information.

I got this cool link from one of Shogun's old websites.

The Great Mascot Contest/De Grote Wedstrijd van de Mascotte

2006-05-08T23:44:00.000-07:00

2 Lazy 2 Blog needs a mascot to represent us. Blog members are invited to create some silly and appropriately lazy pictures of people and/or animals.

Rules:

The contest is open to all members of this blog.
The deadline is May 31st at midnight.
Pictures should consist of photos or artwork that the person has a right to use and post online. Creative Commons photos at Flickr may be fine just make sure that they don't say 'nd' in the license since that means no derivative art can be made.
Pictures should be portrait orientation or almost square so they can be resized and fit into the sidebar.
The pictures must be G rated because we are an all ages group.
Submissions will be emailed to me and posted as anonymous entries if the group agrees to that.

Voting:

Voting takes place June 1 - 5.
Voting will use either my Buster Tests exclusively or a mix of MBT and a mail in form. The first would be easier.

------

2 Lazy 2 Blog vergen een mascotte om ons te vertegenwoordigen. De leden van Blog worden verzocht om sommige dwaze en geschikt luie beelden van mensen en/of dieren tot stand te brengen.

Regels:

De wedstrijd is open aan alle leden van dit blog. De uiterste termijn is 31 Mei bij middernacht.
De beelden zouden uit foto's of kunstwerk moeten bestaan dat de persoon een recht heeft online te gebruiken en te posten.
De Creative Commons foto's in Flickr kunnen fijn zijn ervoor zorgen enkel dat zij geen 'Nd' in de vergunning zeggen aangezien dat betekent geen afgeleide kunst kan worden gemaakt.
De beelden zouden portretrichtlijn of bijna vierkant moeten zijn zodat kunnen zij resized en geschikt in sidebar.
De beelden moeten geschat G zijn omdat wij een helemaal leeftijdsgroep zijn.
De voorlegging zal aan me worden met de elektronische post verstuurd en zal gepost worden als anonieme ingangen als de groep met dat akkoord gaat.

Stemming:

De stemming vindt 1 - 5 Juni plaats.
De stemming zal my Buster Tests of uitsluitend een mengeling van MBT en een post in vorm gebruiken. De eerste zou gemakkelijker zijn.

Don't Post Contest Submissions Yet

2006-05-07T17:34:00.000-07:00

I need to finish the guidelines and send an email out.

Please consider these questions:

Should the submissions be anonymous or should we know who created each one?

Should we use My Buster Tests to vote like we did for the logo? Instead of adding points for member votes we could send our a voting form via email. Alternately we could do the whole vote by email and restrict it to members.

Tina You Fat Lard Come Get Some Dinner

2006-05-03T13:04:00.000-07:00

Go watch Napoleon Dynamite. It is a great movie. It's about this kid who goes to school and he meets a new kid and he dances and they all have a good time. And at the end he dances it's really cool and funny. I would give it 2 thumbs up plus my Father's two thumbs plus my Grandma's and all of ther people in the world. That is how much I like and if you visit my blog and look at my del.icio.us links you will see there's a Napoleon Dynamite link. SO GO WATCH NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!!!

A Good 'Experiment'

2006-04-30T16:50:00.000-07:00

I have been wondering about my blogs lately. What was working and what wasn't. I play with lots of ideas and experiment with lots of blogs. This blog began because both Sam and I had things we liked to post that didn't fit our blogs. Shahid joined us and then other members did also.

We tried many different things here and some worked and some didn't. Mostly we just popped in occasionally to say hi and post something interesting. We don't hear from some members for a while but that's okay. We aren't too strict about rules here.

Today was fun because Josh posted an interesting link and 'The Masta' (aka Billy) became our newest member.

Today we have fifteen members. Over 300 posts have been written since we began 8 months ago.

I don't think we are an experiment any more. :) Thanks everyone.

P.S. If you haven't browsed our members' blogs recently please do so. You may find something interesting to read.

Blog Questions (Meme)

2006-04-19T21:31:00.000-07:00

Here is another meme for you to play with in your blog. (Members can post here).

1) Why and how did you start your blog?

2) If you have a special 'nom de blog', how did you choose it?

3) How did you come up with the name for your blog?

4) What things do you tend to blog about the most, and why?

5) Are there subjects you'd like to blog about, but don't, and if so, what is stopping you?

6) How do you organize your blogroll/links?

7) How do you feel about the design of your blog? Are there any changes you'd like to make to it?

8) How often do you post new entries on your blog? Would you like to post more (or less) often?

9) How often do you read and/or comment on other blogs? How do you find new blogs to read?

10) Have you done anything special to get others to read and/or comment on your blog?

Memes And Mondays

2006-04-19T15:05:00.000-07:00

Wikipedia Meme

I have seen this meme on several blogs:

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

My Thankful Monday

My Thankful Monday is a new meme site that looks interesting. I thought a plug here would keep them motivated and get our members writing.

Explanation of Terms

Take Free Advanced Global Personality Test
personality tests by similarminds.com

Stability results were moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

Today is Fin's birthday. Will he feel like this tomorrow? :)

Fintan's Birthday

The Darragh was delirious,
the liquor cold,
the partying was serious,
the drinking bold.

The Darragh was shaking,
he took another pill.
his head was aching,
he felt "over the hill."

Personal DNA

2006-04-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

I took the Personal DNA survey like Shahid did and found it interesting. I came out as a Benevolent Idealist. The test is easy to take and makes you think but I found some things I didn't like.

It uses Shockwave Flash and I found the usual problem of unreadable fonts in Firefox/Linux. In Windows using IE I had no problems.
The test doesn't tell you you need to allow cookies. It just refuses to continue.
The default script causes problems with Blogger and loads really slow.

There was a lot of information but basically I try to be nice and I am not always practical.

Benevolent - If you want to be different:

You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!

Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

Idealist - If you want to be different:

You take time to explore your own thoughts and ideas, but this experience would only be heightened if you opened yourself up even more to others' ideas.

Your faith in yourself and your lifestyle is well-founded, but the occasional foray into the unknown might broaden your perspective and help you see things differently.

Interesting ideas.

Shifting Gears

2006-04-05T22:18:00.000-07:00

For those of you who have any interest in art...you should check this out. I noticed this exihibition on Volkswagen's website a few weeks ago. Little did I know it would be coming to my college soon after. All of the contestants were young people (age 16-25) with disabilities. I stopped by the gallery see the work of the winners earlier today. There are some great and inspiring pieces to be seen here.

You can take a look at the winners and their work at this link.
