FOTD 31-01-06 (Rating 8)

31 Jan '06

FOTD -- January 31, 2006 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image continues the series of Z^(1.3)+C Julia sets. It is a Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeloid as it appears 3 levels up the spiral. At this level, the Mandeloid holds a very large midget off to the NW of the main bay. Today's image is a Julia set of the main bay area of this large midget. Since I did put a bit of extra effort into coloring the image, I gave it a rating of a lofty 8. But I gave it no name. Names must be earned. Much of the effect of the image is due to the inside parts, which were rendered with the 'bof61' option. The render time of just over 2 minutes should test the patience of no one. And the image can always be enjoyed by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Unsettled conditions here at Old Fractal Central on Sunday kept the fractal cats undecided. They went out several times, but were soon faced with sprinkles of rain, which sent them scurry- ing for shelter. Monday was far better. My days continue very busy. The next FOTD, the first of the new month, will appear with a probability of 88 percent in 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and don't ask how I determined the probability of the next FOTD appearing in 24 hours. I don't know how I did it.

FOTD 29-01-06 (NO RATING, NO NAME)

29 Jan '06

FOTD -- January 29, 2006 (Not Rated) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There will be no FOTD for January 30. The next FOTD will be posted on Tuesday, January 31. Today's image is a Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeloid as it appears 34.5 levels up the logarithmic hyperspiral. The image looks nothing like a proper Julia set however, filled as it is with narrow converging discontinuities terminating in flat circular disks, all this presented against a totally chaotic background. The corresponding Mandeloid is shaped vaguely like a classic Mandelbrot set that has been rotated 180 degrees. The point that corresponds to today's Julia set is located in the broad field of chaos on the west that passes for an east valley. Putting so little work into the image, I could hardly give it a name or rating. The 6-1/2 minute render time should try the patience of very few. And as always, the completed GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A near-perfect midwinter day with lots of sun, light winds and a temperature of 63F 17C kept the fractal cats quite happy on Saturday. They were out of sight in the holly patch for over two hours, but they came dashing in as soon as they heard the rattle of the tuna can. My day was quite busy, so busy in fact that I will have no time to post a FOTD tomorrow. The next FOTD will therefore appear in 48 hours, which is two days from now. Until then, take care, and look patient.

FOTD 28-12-05 (Blue Galaxy [5])
by Jim Muth 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

FOTD -- December 28, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in a valley of a fractal that was found hurriedly by the evolver feature of Fractint. This explains the unusually precise parameters. The name "Blue Galaxy" came to mind as I studied the image with my mind shut off. (It's a good trick, but no one noticed a difference.) The rating of 5 might be a bit disappointing, especially for an image that takes 1/2 hour to finish. Salvation from boredom is at hand however on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image is posted for easy download and enjoyment. Holidays always get my philosophical juices flowing, and this is the peak time of year for holidays. So expect some enlightening words of true wisdom within a week, or, depending on one's point of view, some confused and misleading blather. Except for a wet Sunday, conditions were passable here at the old Fractal Central over the past several days. The cats made the most of things, aided by extra generous servings of tuna. For me the holidays went acceptably well, but the work is again piling up, and it will take a couple days to get things under control. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and could atoms be made of thought?

FOTD 28-01-06 (NO RATING, NO NAME)
by Jim Muth 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

FOTD -- January 28, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's nameless and unrated image we check another Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeloid, this time as it appears at the ground-zero level of the spiral. Actually, the ground-zero level would better be called the minus-pi level, since the 'pi' level as calculated by the branch-cut formulas is actually the default level calculated by the built-in formulas of Fractint. The corresponding Mandel point of today's Julia image lies toward the center of the main Mandelbrot bay. The unusual effect is a result of rendering the image with the inside set to 'fmod' with a proximity of 0.03 The 6-minute render time borders on slowness, but the finished GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Bright sun, milder temperatures in the 40's F, around 8C, and lighter winds here at Old Fractal Central on Friday made the outside pleasant enough for the fractal cats. They spent almost two hours lurking in the holly thicket, waiting for birds to perch within reach. The birds never lighted. The forecast is for even warmer tomorrow with a 90-percent chance of scattered fractals. It was another busy day for me, trying to decide what junk to throw out and what good stuff to keep. Until the moment the next FOTD appears, take care, and be with patience.

FOTD -- January 27, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quickie FOTD, which has neither name nor rating, shows a Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeloid as it appears 30 levels down the spiral. The corresponding point of the Mandeloid lies in the north branch of a kind of seahorse valley. To achieve the strange effect I intentionally under-iterated the image and brought the resulting inside parts to life with the 'zmag' option. The render time of 1-1/3 minutes is fast enough for even the most impatient fractalists, (if such a thing as an impatient fractalist exists). To make life as easy as possible, the finished GIF image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Another cold blustery day here at Old Fractal Central on Thurs- day made the fractal cats sulky. Luckily there was enough mackerel left over to take their minds off their troubles. My day was busy. The forecast for tomorrow is for partly cloudy with a 90 percent chance of a fractal. Until next time, take care, and could the deepest possible question be 'what is'?

FOTD -- January 26, 2006 (Not Rated) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeloid as it appears 15 levels up the complex-log hyperspiral. The correspon- ding Mandel point is located in the center of a squashed bud with a periodicity of 7, which lies on the southeast shoreline of the main bay of the Mandeloid. The image was rendered in pretty much the traditional manner, with equal-iteration bands on the 'outside' and extra interest added by setting the inside to 'zmag'. I found the image in under 2 minutes and colored it in under 5, hardly enough effort to earn a name or rating for the image. The render time of 1-3/4 minutes is true on my 10-year-old 200mhz computer. On the current fireball units, it should render in around 15 seconds. Those without fireball units or with over-qualified fireballs can enjoy the image by downloading it from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Chilly temperatures and gripping winds here at Old Fractal Central on Wednesday kept the fractal cats confined to quarters. The extra treat of mackerel came as a surprise, but it kept them reasonably happy. My day was kept busy with a combination of the usual work and the moving preparations. The forecast is for a 90-percent chance of a FOTD in 24 hours. Until that transcen- dental moment arrives, wait with bated breath.

FOTD -- January 25, 2006 (NO RATING, NO NAME) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a Julia set of the Z^1.3+C Mandeloid as it appears 34.5 levels up the log spiral. It has almost but not quite X-axis symmetry. The image consists totally of outside 'stuff'. Since I put almost no effort into its creation, the image has neither name nor rating. But if it were rated, it would earn a 7 or 8. Those who prefer names may call it something like 'prickly pear fractal'. The lightning-fast parameter file makes rendering a joy. Downloading the completed image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> is also quite enjoyable. Sunny mild weather and generous tuna kept the fractal cats happy on Tuesday. Too much to do kept me too busy for a pleasant day. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Whether it appears is another question. I forecast an 85-percent chance of its appearance. Until next FOTD, take care, and fly with eagles.

It's a good distance from all the big metropolital areas, yet large enough to have the necessities. I expect the move to be completed sometime this spring. It has yet to be determined whether this move will be the final one. We might move again in a year or so. Jim M.

FOTD 24-01-06 (NO RATING)
by Jim Muth 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

FOTD -- January 24, 2006 (NO RATING) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a Julia set of a tiny period-37 bud on the southeast shore line of the Z^(1.3)+C Mandeliod as it appears at the minus-pi level of the log spiral. The outside has been rendered with the traditional equal-iteration bands, while the inside has been brought to life by the inside=atan option. I gave the image no rating because I put so little effort (about two minutes) into finding and coloring it. But it certainly deserves a rating of something like a 7 or 8. I cannot give a name to something I played so little part in creating, so the image has no name. The render time of 8-1/2 minutes is short enough to make running the included parameter file practical. Those who do not render may see the image by downloading it from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> With so much activity around Old Fractal Central over the past few days, the fractal cats started feeling that they were being unnecessarily neglected. They went into sulk modes, but two dishes of tuna per day quickly brought them back to life. The next FOTD will probably but not certainly appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and have nothing to do with fractals that appear politically incorrect.

Hey Jim - so you moving to PA ?! Whereabouts? That's where I came from, NW of Philly, before moving to CO a couple years ago. Hope all works out for you. It's a really cool state if you stay away from Philly. JoTz
