Friends, Below are the parameter files for Jim Muth's FOTD for Feb 22 - Feb 24, 2011. I had received them from Jim on the "back channel" and had posted them on the FOTD web site previously, but had not forwarded them on to the Fractint list serve. Now that I have Jim's permission, here they are on the list serve. I do not have any commentary by Jim on the fractals generated by these parm files or about any "goings on" at Fractal Central. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ### Jim's Feb 22-24, 2011 FOTD parm files ############# ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOTD -- February 22, 2011 (An_Old_Friend) An_Old_Friend { ; time=0:00:41.36-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+2.6343292065912/-0.0003337941617046/\ 6.814826e+010/1/167.5/0 params=1/3/-2/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 logmap=121 periodicity=6 colors=000zzzEEUFFZGGcHKhIPmJUrKcvLmzLvzLzzzLLzLzz\ zLzzz000555888BBBEEEHHHKKKOOOSSSWWW___ccchhhmmmsss\ zzzp0zp0zs0zu0sv8nvBfzGVzLGxP0zT0zZ0zb0zg0zl0zq0zz\ czzozzz0zV0zj0zz0jz0Vz0GzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVzzVrzVjzVbz\ VVzbVzjVzrVzzVrzVjzVbzVVzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVwzVzzVtzhnz\ lmzqhzuhzzhzzhuzhqzhlzhhzlhzqhzuhzzhuzhqzhlzhhzhhz\ lhzqhzuhzzhuzhqzhlz00S70SE0SL0SS0SS0LS0ES07S00S70S\ E0SL0SS0LS0ES07Y00c00m70zE0mL0cS0US0KS07SEESHESLES\ OESSESSEOSELSEHSEESHESLESOESSEOSELSEHSEESEESHESLES\ OESSEOSELSEHSKKSMKSOKSQKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSMKSOKSQKS\ SzQczOczMczKczKSzKSzKSzKSzKQSKOSKMS00G40G80GC0GG0G\ G0CG08G04G00G40G80GC0GG0CG08G04G00G00G40G80GC0GG0C\ G08G04G88GA8GC8GE8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88GA8GC8GE8GG8EG8C\ G8AG88G88GA8GC8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBGCBGDBGFBGGBGGBFGBD\ GBCGBBGCBGDBGFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGBBGCBGDBGFBGGBFGBDGBC\ G000000000000000000000000 } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOTD -- February 23, 2011 (UnlikelyMinibrot) UnlikelyMinibrot { ; time=0:00:02.01-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.1543378525208\ 854/+1.030798699292368/2.566606e+011/1/-15/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=329 periodicity=6 colors=000G3KH4KI5KJ6KK7KL8KM9KNAKOBKPCKQDKREKSFKT\ GKUHKVILWKMXMNYOOZQP_SQ`URaWSbYTc_UdaXecZfeaggchif\ ikhlljmmXnnUooRppOqqPrrUssZttcuuhvvmwwrxxvyyyzzzzz\ zF`W8g_4MIhFQ`CLUAHM7DF58724XKAUI9SH8QG8OF7MD6KC6I\ B5GA5E84C73A63852631421210XZ3RT2MN2GH1BB1550v7Xl5R\ b4MT3GJ2B915Oj4Kb3GV2CN28F1470QWkJO_DGO68C6W44L22A\ 1cGbWCVO9NG6F837itCdnA_h9Wb8RY7NS6IM4DH39B2451rBCd\ 89R56D23ixIYhDNU9BF4KbiI_eGXaFUZDRVCOSALO9IL7FH6CE\ 49A3671339uE8oC7iB6c95Y84T73N52H41B2051UYYRVVOSSMP\ PJMMGJJFHHDFFBDDABB8996775553331118yU6lO4`I3OC1C69\ jm7ce6XZ5QS3KL2DE167MteKpbJl_HiYGeVFbSDZQCWNBSL9OI\ 8LFxU4yV4pQChLJ`HQTCYL7dD3kB2fA2b92Y81U67271Q51L41\ H30D208104Bq38f26W14L12A0O3FC17VfNSbLQ_JNXHLTFJQEG\ NCEJABG89D7795LWNIUUGS_DQeBPkJzlQzlXzmczmjznqznxzn\ xzixzdxz_tzaqzbmzcjzdgzeazaWzYQzULzQFzM9zI4zEFzXPz\ nIzeBzY4zQJzPXzPkzOyzOmzT } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOTD -- February 24, 2011 (On_And_Off_TheStem) On_And_Off_TheStem { ; time=0:00:02.70-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7857641506358\ 77/+0.00000001252263632/2.315613e+010/1/-160/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5400 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=579 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000200300400500600700800900A00B00C00D00E1\ 1F22G33H44I55J66K77L88M99OAAPBBQCCRDDTEEUFFVGGWHHX\ IIZJJ_KK`LLaMMcNNdOOePPfQQgRRkSSlSUlTWlTYmU_mUamVc\ mVdnWfnWhnXjnXloYnoYpoYqoXnnWlmVjmUhlUflTdkSbkR_jQ\ YjQWiPUiOShNQhMOgMMgONjPOlQPnSQpTRrUStVSvXVtZXs__q\ aapcdndfmfikhkjinhkpgmsenudmtemtemtemsfmsfmsfmzimz\ lmzorzrvzuzzwzzzzzzUUUtCO5DgSJRICI969JC1E909604303\ EF3CT29L16E037uxsac`JKIV_nFIP`e`ILIglGTWAEG5MN_GHR\ BBI559pLMZEEH77lOw8am4JPOGdC8KB3c82U51K20ATOdJGR98\ DFBO75CxJDhE9U96F43l4QYYCMM8BB40aN0JBk7gO3MfHgSBTE\ 5EKb_DQO6DCt_SSIEY2IM1CB0684zq2iR1NH94B62531V2GK1A\ A05vDlg9_T6OE3CJnpCYZ6HHgioTUYEFHdcKKKAjfpNLQQMmDB\ PLpnFbaAQP5DCGg4AT25E1aXePMSCBEmVTPFEO4y8NL5FE277B\ plJAAC66633MwYEcM7KB2uU1fM1TF0E7DXB6G5TRzLKjEDV76F\ WiLLUEAF75aspDeZ8SH4EnHBFOF5cGzADGVWCNO8FG478QRRHI\ I899vu4TT2p5Nb3HQ2BD15Xcf } //////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////// #### End of Jim's Feb 22-24, 2011 FOTD parm files #####

Friends, Below is the "text" for Jim Muth's FOTD, for Feb 21, 2011. I had received this FOTD text from Jim on the "back channel" and had posted it on the FOTD web site previously, but had not forwarded on the Fractint list serve. Now that I have Jim's permission, here it is on the list serve. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ###### Jim's Feb 21, 2011 FOTD text ######################### FOTD -- February 21, 2011 (The_Bottomless_Pit -- Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I have been having some trouble lately getting Xmission to accept the FOTD's I send to the Fractint mailing list through Earthlink. Apparently, Xmission has put Earthlink on some kind of blacklist because of excess spam. We'll see how it goes. I have also created a new e-mail address, which I might or might not switch to, to cut down the amount of spam I receive. Today's image is a very quick one, showing a minibrot in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.1)+C is iterated 11 levels up the complex logarithmic hyperladder with no function applied. I can find little in the image to recommend, which leaves me with no choice but to rate it at an average 5. The calculation time is a very reasonable 43 seconds however. The minor task of setting up and running the parameter file may be avoided by going to the active FOTD web site at: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html and viewing the finished image there, for all if anything it is worth. The classic FOTD web site may be found at: http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/ Lots of sun with a temperature of 36F +2C made Sunday feel quite seasonable here at Fractal Central. But the forecast calls for snow late tonight. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun while it was shining. My day was quite busy getting some chores caught up. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where is the big breakthrough?

Friends, Below is the "text" for the Jim Muth FOTD, Feb 26, 2011. I didn't see a post of his for Feb 26 making it through to the Fractint list serve as of right now, so I'm going ahead and posting the FOTD text that he got to me through the "back channel." With Jim's permission, here is his Feb 26, 2011 FOTD text: - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ###### Jim's Feb 26, 2011 FOTD text ######################### FOTD -- February 26, 2011 (A_DeepDark_Mystery -- Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: This FOTD will be coming through an indirect route. But I think the problem with the blocked e-mail direct to the Fractint list has been solved. Earthlink says it will take several days for me to regain access to xmission however, so I am still not claiming that the problem has ended. Today's rather striking image lies in the parent fractal that results when the simple formula Z^(1.5)+C is iterated 3 levels up the logarithmic ladder and no function is applied. This parent consists of a reasonably recognizable main bay with a disconnected fragment of a filament lying some distance to the southwest. Today's scene lies near a larger minibrot on this fragment. Most of the 'striking' effect is due to my coloring, which explains the extra half point I awarded to myself. The rather suggestive name 'A Deep Dark Mystery' refers to the location of the scene in its parent fractal. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is almost blazingly fast, especially considering that the image is not a type=mandel, which I think uses machine language. Those who would rather not calculate may view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/ Morning rain and afternoon wind marked Friday here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats didn't mind the rain, but they got a bit skittish when trash cans started blowing around in the after- noon. The temperature of 37F +3C was near normal for the day; the wind made it feel much colder however. The next FOTD is schedule to be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and beware of fraudulent fractals.

Barry, You said: > BTW, Hal's February page wouldn't open this morning > (Australian time). Are you able to open the February FOTD page again? I don't seem to have problems here viewing the page in North Carolina, USA. My FOTD server is in Chicago, USA. Perhaps the packets got wet going across the Pacific...

Fwd: The incredible vanishing FOTD

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: The incredible vanishing FOTD Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 09:42:54 -0500 From: Jim Muth <jimmuth(a)mindspring.com> To: skinner(a)thuntek.net Lee: Please forward this message to the Fractint list. The list will not accept my messages. Fractal fans: I AM, I repeat *AM* continuing to post the FOTD's to the list as I have been doing for 14 years. But instead of appearing on the list, they have been vanishing into the ether for several days. There is no problem here at Fractal Central. I joined the list from the business computer and sent a test message from the new machine. The test posting appeared back in the mail box of the original machine as expected. But the business machine is at a different location, and I cannot use it as the FOTD machine. The only hint I have is the following cryptic stuff that appeared in the header of the last FOTD that I received back from the list. If anyone can decipher it, maybe I will be able to solve the problem. (It looks like something somewhere along the line has been blacklisted for sending too much spam.) ======================================================= SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO: <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com>: host mx.xmission.com [166.70.12.20]: 550-XM-RJCT22: [207.69.200.58] is prohibited from connecting to XMission mail 550-servers due to high spam volume.

Bill Jemison mentioned a possible problem with my upload. I will check at the library later this morning, and if I find a problem, then I will upload from my USB key and notify the list when the problem is corrected. I do not hav the bandwidth to do that, now. If the problem turns out to be on Bill's end, then I think I also recently got some software for M4Vs, which means that I should consider putting those videos on my podcast. Last time I tried that format, M4V, I did not get near the compression ratio of a wmv, though, and my taste runs to choosing the best format, rather than supplying five. I think that is what Bill Gates is trying to do with WMV, uh, besides commoditize it in hardware under the HighMath name. AVI is actually at least ten different formats, each with codecs for you to download. DivX, for example, is one of them. Jemison also posted a variation that tries to use OPL and quantization. I never tried that, because I realized that connected orbits reprezent glides, which quantize on shelves or in chromatic runs. In other words, quantization does not accurately reflect continuous lines. For the heck of it, I did try the OPL without quantization. It was not as good to my ears as what is probably a very good simulation of the PC speaker. Since it is controlled by wave volume, and not FM, I am guessing that this PC speaker thing is a simulation, and I am getting woefully out of touch with what is under the hood in these things. Mandelcloud, with unquantized pitch, is among the things that inspired sample-wise, variable-length glides in my software synthesizer. I had intended in my last piece to use my own synthesizer with a just intonation and such glides, but Jemison's six part polyphony was much easier, and I could probably extend code in FRACTINT to do what I want more easily than extending my own very rudimentary soft-synth. Now that I've heard non-quantized sound from OPL, though, I wunder, and I suspect that my synth, especially under post-processing in Nero WaveEdit, would be a different flavour, plus I can connect orbits in any fractal type that creates output with orbitsave=yes. Maybe the difference is in the bitrate for OPL commands, which is probably not 1.4Mbps. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Sound/

My video haz x on the left channel, and y on the right channel. Just about any mandelcloud with connected orbits will work to make fast, oscillating glides, although I think the sweet parts are on the right end. One thing I don't like about DOSbox: It does not seem to know how to automatically saturate one processor of a dual core: Saturating both cores without a programmer's intent should not even be attempted, because you will end up spending a lot of time saving state information. I suspect that DOSbox is running in debug mode, because when I manually adjust it towards saturating my processor: "cycles: 30000", it is still a lot slower than cmd.exe. It is great for capturing stuff, though. DOSbox is something Micro$oft should've written ten years ago. It emulates a soundblaster/OPL card, which is not my hardware. It emulates VESA BIOS, so that FRACTINT works above 360by480. It can capture audio and video, including a simulation of that old PC speaker. It supports a graphics window, so it does not need to switch into full screen mode to operate FRACTINT. It is configured by default with 16MB of EMS and XMS that fractint can use for either enabling users to shell out or for performance with that 2048 pixel square disk video mode, uh, whenever authors figure out how to efficiently spend more time slices. I can run CWSDPMI under DOSbox for the space that simplgif uses in its potential to make gigapixel imajez. It is under two megabytes, so it is not hours of downloading over dial-up. It has some keys for slowing itself down, in case a big batch job is consuming too much power. It comes off the net in one-click form; no wizards, no warnings, except when I installed the AVI codec. Overall, it is a wonderful environment, except when it comes to completely disabling code for downspeeding, so for now, I will run batch files with good old cmd.exe, and when I want to let my friends watch a tesseral rendering over a wmv, then I hav no other way than DOSbox. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/ Organized Babble

http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/finance/Open_sOrserOr.wmv - - Derivative works encourajed. I owe Bill Jemison for a scale mapping in "The Sorceress". In fact, all I did to his sound-screen parameters was turn off my PC speaker. You might prefer a strong beat with the PC speaker on. The eight in main (z-screen) parameters is mine, and so is an iteration limit of two, to make the music's length reasonable, when, like a lot of synthetic music, a beginning, middle and end are not all that clear. My audio and video are very different. I turned off viewwindows (downscaling), and increased an iteration limit to 740 to get video. I forget whether x is on left or right, and y is on the opposite side. Audio would go on for months under the video limits.

However, my most recent email to him at: jamth(a)mindspring.com bounced, so I can't communicate bi-directionally with him currently. So, in light of this, and his problems in posting to the Fractint list serve, I'm taking it on my own initiative -- without getting Jim's permission -- to post the Feb 25 FOTD text (below) that I received from him thru the back channel. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ###### Jim's Feb 25, 2011 FOTD text ######################### FOTD -- February 25, 2011 (A_Very_Quick_Dip -- Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is the third consecutive one based on the same theme, making it worth a point or so under what would otherwise be the case. The scene is in the basin of a larger minibrot in the East Valley area of the large minibrot on the largest star-filament of the period-7 bud on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set. The finished image may be accessed at: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html The original web site may be accessed at: http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/ Clouds and sprinkles of rain kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central on Thursday. The fractal cats spent most of the day watching two stray cats prowling in the back yard. My day was busy, but I have seen worse. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Whether it makes it to the list is another question.

Test FOTD...(Barry Smith Inquiry)
by Jay Litwyn 24 Feb '11

Author: Susan Brown Date: 2011-02-23 12:16 -700 To: fractint Subject: [Fractint] Test FOTD (snip) What followed was what I came to expect from Jim Muth, Barry, except it was a verbatim repeat. It looks like he dictated it to Susan Brown, and signed it at the end, except in this test, there is no explanation for the gap, nor is there any indication that he was going to hire an editor. I think Jim has made gaps in his work for "antiquing expeditions", before. So, I am as confused as you are. Five days are an exceptional delay.
