Not the best scan, but a scan of the 3D world article. I might cut out the page and scan it in again.

Ragdoll and my available time on the film
Hi all,
I have some good news, I have got a job at Ragdoll as a 3D Generalist. I would like to thank Charles Lin (Chuck) for putting my work forward to them :)
This does not mean I will neglect my duties on the film, only that I will only have time in the weekday evenings to work on the project. I will get time during the day to reply to comments and may be able to solve some… Continue

Michael Cawood - Director said… Thanks for backing the funding campaign Iskander. Of course I'd hope that if we raise enough we should be able to give some of the proceeds back to the team. It's not likely to raise that much, but it does mean that really I'd prefer the team was just spreading the word and not worrying too much about digging into their own pockets too much. Not that I'm complaining I appreciate any contribution that shares the burden of the festival run costs, and hopefully the seed money will encourage others to contribute.

Justin S. Barrett said… - Hey Iskander,
I'm not familiar with particles I'm afraid, but from your description, it sounds like a general thing that I've seen in other places related to Maya references. In short, if you don't set a key to lock in your change, it will sometimes revert back to the value from the file you referenced. Try setting a key on the per particle attribute in the scene file. That should retain the change compared to the value in the original file.
