FOTD -- May 03, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's glorious image lies in the humongous fractal that results when 5 negative parts of Z^(-1.05) are combined with 0.75 negative part of Z^(-7.5) and (1/C) is added. And when I say this parent fractal is humongous, I mean humongous. The center of today's image lies at -1180 on the Y-axis of its parent. (I kid you not.) This parent fractal is so oversized that it requires 3 outzooms before it fits onto the screen, and when it finally does fit, it is seen to resemble a large open bay connected by a large area of chaos to a large ring off to the southeast. Today's image is located in the vicinity of this ring. Once again I gave the image too little effort to grant it the honor of a name and rating. And its long calculation time of 18 minutes helps matters none at all. What does help is the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image is posted in GIF format, already calculated and ready for immediate enjoyment or ridicule. Wednesday began under threatening skies here at Old Fractal Central, but the threat amounted to nothing, and by midday conditions were ideal, with sunny skies and a temperature of 77F 25C. The old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy, celebrated the fine day by sleeping through most of it under a holly tree. When a large bee buzzed too close to Tippy's face, he got up and moved away. The fractal cats know better than to mess with bumble bees. My day was as slow as the weather was great, but by late after- noon I grew tired of watching puffy clouds drift by and almost wished I had something to do. Well, I won't be bored for long. I have only one more day to enjoy doing nothing. Then my sister returns from Wisconsin and it's back to New Fractal Central and the graphics work for me. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, that is if I can muster the ambition to find a fractal. Until next time, take care, and see you in the environs of fractal land.

FOTD -- May 02. 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A little bit of 3i can make a great difference to the appearance of the classic Mandelbrot set. In today's fractal we add only 1/10000 part of 3i to the M-set, but that tiny part of the imaginary number wreaks almost total havoc. Today's scene is located in an area that would lie near a small bud on the southwest shore line of the M-set -- that is if the parent fractal were the undistorted M-set. But though there is a resemblance, the parent fractal is not the M-set, it is little more than a parody of that mighty fractal. When 1/10000 part of 3i is added, to the Mandelbrot set, the set looks like someone took a knife to it and tried to slice it into quarters. I am not sure whether the result is a true fractal or an artifact of the formula, but whatever it is, it holds some interesting places to explore. Since I put next to no effort into today's image, I did not name or rate it. The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes on my P133 machine equals about 1-1/2 minutes on the standard P200 machine. This is brief enough so that little effort will have been wasted if the image fails to please. And if all else fails, the already-calculated image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> It's been another spectacular day for me and the fractal cats here at Old Fractal Central -- lots of sun and a temperature of 75F 24C. While I spent the day enjoying the weather, the cats spent the day lurking in the holly thicket. Unlike the new fractal cats, who can only look outside, the old guys get to go there. The next FOTD will appear by technological magic in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if no FOTD appears in 24 hours, it will be because the ancient machine I am working on has finally come to its last iteration. (Every time I turn on the old P133, it's a battle getting it to start up as it should.)

""I believe that there are many people who go looking for fractal programs these days and frankly, fractint is not the one that they choose. The reasons are probably varied: the DOSness, the UI, the 8.3 filename limitations and so on are all probably part of the problem"" ""It needs to start leaping ahead of others"" It already IS ahead of the others, can zoom deeper and higher iterations, more varied in fractal formulas. We need to ADVERTISE!

FOTD -- May 01, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(sqrt(2))+C is iterated 77 levels down the logarithmic ladder. At this profound depth, the formula creates a Mandeloid with its west end facing northeast and the east half of its main bay cut off. Today's scene is located far out on a prominent filament extending out NE from the large period-2 main bud. Since I spent most of the day enjoying the weather and doing little else, I could not name or rate today's image. But it is still a rather pleasant one to view, as long as one does not spend too much time thinking about it. The render time of 6-3/4 minutes is true on my ancient P133, a machine so old it would be best studied by an archaeologist. A much more efficient way of viewing the image is to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it is posted for instant if not hedonistic enjoyment. It was a beautiful spring day here at Old Fractal Central, from where the FOTD was posted for 9 years and where the old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy, are still thriving. Clear blue skies, gentle breezes and a temperature of 82F 28C made things near perfect. I will be here until this Friday, while my sister, who moved here when I left, is visiting friends in Wisconsin. The old fractal cats spent the morning wondering why they see so little of me nowadays. Then they went out to the holly thicket, where they lurked all afternoon. They fully appreciated their evening treat of tuna. I will be pretty much unoccupied this week here at old FC, while Fractal Lady tends to business back at New FC This will give me lots of time to do nothing but find fractals, but I just might waste a good part of that spare time doing nothing. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and sing a song of fractals.
