FOTD 12-05-03 (Ghostbusters [7])

12 May '03

FOTD -- May 12, 2003 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The rush continues here at F.C. The customer is due in three hours and there is two hours work yet to do. This means another short FOTD discussion. Today's image rates a 7, which is somewhat of an improvement over the recent days' efforts. I named the image "Ghostbusters" because it reminds me of those mischievous entities that filled the film of the same name some 20 odd years ago. The location of the scene is near the tip of the filament that extends from the southeast-pointing bud of the obvious Mandel area of the parent. Actually, the filament goes on forever until it is absorbed into the ring-like feature. The render time of 12 minutes can be bypassed by downloading the finished image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The weather was unexpectedly pleasant here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The forecasted severe weather never developed, and the sun actually appeared in the afternoon, raising the temperature to 81F 27C and giving the fractal duo the best romp in the yard they have had in nearly a week. Their resulting moods were beyond reproach. Today is starting in a far more pleasant manner, with no hint of foul weather. With things going their way, I expect the duo will have another pleasant day. My day will turn pleasant when the work is finished. Until next time, take care, and the search for truth will never end, because we invent truth by the act of searching.

FOTD 11-05-03 (An Undecided Fractal [5])
by Jim M. 11 May '03

11 May '03

FOTD -- May 11, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal appears undecided. It cannot make up its mind which way it wants to go, and as a result, its rating suffers. The scene is filled with fragments of themes, any one of which could be developed into a satisfying overall theme, but none of which actually are. It's no wonder that I named the image "An Undecided Fractal". This indecision is caused by the location of the scene in its parent -- exactly on the left edge of the 'fan', where it merges into the chaos surrounding a small irregular hole. At this particular point, all the forces are balanced. The situation is unstable, poised at the brink, but there is no trigger to flip the scene into a definite theme. As a result of all this indecision, I could rate the overall result no higher than a 5. The render time of 14 minutes is a bit slow for an image that tries hard but doesn't seem to know in which direction to go. And that 14-minute wait can be cut drastically by downloading the completed GIF image from either of the two FOTD web sites at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> It rained and thundered in the morning of Saturday here at F.C. The rain was not too heavy, but the high humidity and light winds that followed left the grass soaked for the rest of the day, a situation that always keeps the cats' moods less than optimum. The temperature reached 72F 22C -- comfortable enough -- were it not for the wet grass. How long it seems since the dynamic duo were actually doing things other than being in moods -- such as climbing trees and catching birds. But this is what happens to cats when they reach the age of 12 years. Well, today is starting with more wet grass, and possible tornadoes are forecast for this afternoon. So it's time to say 'see you next time', and batten down the fractal hatches.

But considering the unfulfilled promises I have made about the upcoming FOTD CD, it is not too serious a breach. Choice (2) is also true by definition. Choice (3) Ditto. Choice (4) is untrue. I knew all along that I was reneging on my word. This is why I mentioned 'evaporated' fractals in the short discussion. Choice (5) is partially true. I soon realized that my original plan was a hastily conceived and unnecessary limitation. When I intentionally departed from my announced plan, I did wonder how many, if any, would notice it. But the departure was not intended to be a test. I used the other options simply because they improved the image, which, in its original form, was in need of help, and I was rushed for time. Choice (6) is totally untrue. The parent fractal has more variety than I could find in a million lifetimes. Jim M. ;-)

Hi, good news. I found what caused that mysterious fractint-bug. It must be one as I have used the same bailout expression on some other formulas without problem. Lee, here is your bug-image running perfectly. I tested some pictures and I could not detect any difference to this version, so I have not renamed it. Suggest you just exchange it. I have a new zooming playing ground (siamese twins) and two zooms. Check it out.

FOTD 10-05-03 (The Edge [5])
by Jim M. 10 May '03

10 May '03

FOTD -- May 10, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Still another unusually busy day subtracts from the time devoted to the FOTD. Today's image is titled "The Edge". What is it the edge of? It is a point on the right edge of the large irregular open area at the center of the parent fractal. At first glance, this edge appears to have nothing of interest to reveal, but upon magnification it proves to be rich in intricate detail and critical as well. Today's image is slow because most of it consists of inside material made visible by the < bof61 > inside fill. But it is not an evaporated image. A good part of it is real material rendered with the < tdis > option. I could see nothing in the image that would rate higher than a 5, and the relatively slow render time of 36 minutes sealed the image's fate. It is merely an average image, and average it will remain. The task of rendering can be avoided by downloading the completed image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> It rained a good part of the day here at Fractal Central on Thursday. The wet conditions and cool temperature of 60F 15.5C kept the fractal cats indoors and cranky. Tuna was needed to restore their spirits. Today is starting wet once again, so more bad moods are expected. As for me, I still have much work to do, so until next time in 24 hours, and next fractal, take care, and have a good day.

Hi, John as your parfile was scrubbed, probably because no attachments are possible, I´d be happy if you could mail it to my private address. I really am thrilled to watch it, especially as I also came upon a zoom, which for me is like a view out of a spaceship window . Check the Science_fiction image posted today. Regards, Al.

Albrecht, when do you sleep? (James R. McKenzie)

Hi, James what a question! I definetly get enough. I´m a working man and exploring a "new country" like this is pure fun and excitement, no stress involved, whatsoever. And it is the best cure for that everyday frustration, believe me! Fractal Greetings, Al

FOTD 09-05-03 (Smooth Sailing [8])

FOTD -- May 09, 2003 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another busy day means another shortened discussion. Today's image, with its spectacular curvilinear elements, rates an 8. Actually, I thought about rating it a 9, but I could not find that definite extra something that would earn the 9. I named the image "Smooth Sailing" for no reason that I can state with certainty. (I think there once was a candy bar named 'Smooth Sailing'.) Most likely, it is the smoothly curving lines that earned the title. The entire scene is located at the tip of the filament extending from the Mandeloid bud at the northeast corner of the parent, slightly past the point where the filament intersects the ring. The scene actually lies in the interior of the ring, which is surprising, as no rings appear in the image. Usually, the features surrounding midgets are a reflection of the overall area of the parent in which the midgets are located. The rather slow render time of 9 minutes can be avoided by downloading the finished image from the W.W.W. It is available at two web sites. Paul's site is found at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Scott's is at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The weather was changeable here at Fractal Central on Thursday. A light shower in the morning gave way to a sunny afternoon with a temperature of 75F 24C, but at nightfall a series of thunder- showers passed just to the north. The duo of cats made the most of the sunny period and did not worry themselves while it was raining or thundering. This morning is starting foggy and misty, with more rain promised. It remains to be seen what kind of day the duo will have. For me, it's going to be another busy day. Until next FOTD, take care, and look for those alternate realities hidden within our own.
