Hello, January
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 1.02.09Some months nothing seems to happen. Others? Well…
With the release of mediaboxAdvanced 0.9.5, 0.9.7, and now 0.9.8 in quick succession, I’m making a little progress with my javascript projects. Still rudimentary at best, but I enjoy the challenge, and it seems there are a few users that appreciate the work! As of January 31st, Iaian7.com has had over 7,500 unique visitors in one month, and most of the traffic is for mediaboxAdvanced; the script I use on this site and others to display images, media, and more in a modal overlay.
I’ve also been trying to work on some visual effects in the evenings. So far it’s been rough; my computer system is old enough it can’t handle 1080p production (even loading the geometry is difficult), old enough that ram upgrades cost 2-4 times as much, and there’s not much more I can do. Frustrating, to say the least, but moreso because…
My time with Vectorform has come to a close. The good news is that they didn’t want to let me go, which I find strangely comforting. The downside is that the economy is bad enough, finding gainful employment is not an easy task. If you know of any openings for a visual effects or general CG artist, let me know!
Maybe I’ll even post here occasionally; it’s unfortunate how much I’ve neglected my blog, and hope I can catch up a bit. Then again, don’t hold your breath. 
Lord willing, I’ll be busy again soon.
