FOTD 17-11-13 (Good Things Take Time [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 17, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Good things take time indeed, and today's image takes a full 20 minutes to finish calculating. I leave it to the individual viewer to decide whether the image is good enough to warrant the 20-minute running time. The parent fractal is a strange one indeed, which comes about when (Z) is subtracted from Z^3 on each iteration before (C) is added. The east part of this parent is normal enough, but it has problems when we look as far west as Seahorse Valley. Instead of having two branches, in today's parent the valley has four branches, coming from the NW, NE, SE and SW. Today's scene lies rather deep in the NW valley. The ratings of 7 and 6 are close to normal, and in my opinion not quite worth the excessive calculation time. But hope springs eternal in the form of the FOTD web sites. Save scads of time by checking the web sites at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Heavy clouds and occasional rain spoiled the day here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 57F 14C was mild enough, but who could enjoy it with rain threatening? The fractal cats Nico and Jazzy made the most of things, chasing each other up and down the long fractal hallway like Nico once did with fractal cat Cassie when she was still around to chase him and be chased. The fractal humans passed the day doing fractal chores. The next FOTD fractal will most likely but not certainly be posted in 24 hours. Until whenever, take care, and could fractals be an evil government plot?

FOTD 15-11-13 (The Other End [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 15, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image comes from the same parent fractal as yesterday's, though instead of being located in one of two curious minibrots at the northern extremity of the parent, it is located one of two equally curious minibrots at the southern extremity. This explains the name "The Other End". Today's image closely resembles yesterday's, with the similar colors adding to the resemblance. Due to a little extra effort in the coloring, the art rating of the image is a 7. The not- very-inventive math aspect rates a humble 6. The calculation time of 6 minutes will drag, so save time by checking the web sites. The web sites may be accessed at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Hazy sun through thin clouds slightly dampened the cheerful atmosphere here at Fractal Central today, though the temperature of 52F 11C felt just about right. The fractal cats paid little attention to the outside conditions. They were too busy trying to figure out how to play together without fifteen pound Nico overwhelming three pound Jasmine. It looks like she will need to add several pounds before she will be a fair match. The fractal humans had another in an endless series of normal days. The next FOTD will probably not be posted until November 17, which will give the humans a idle day for a little R&R. Until whenever, take care, and activists who want to demonstrate for worthy causes should first be sure they know all they can about the causes.

FOTD 14-11-13 ( [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 14, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's parent fractal was created by combining straight Z with Z^3. This parent is a strange thing with Y-axis symmetry. It appears as a Mandelbrot set rotated so that the normally west side faces south. The detail on the Y-axis extends far beyond the East Valley, which is on the north side of the M-set, as well as the main spike, which is on the south side. Today's scene lies near the Y-axis in the valley of a curious double open hole well to the north of East Valley. The name "Paradoxical Midget" implies more than the image delivers. There is very little of a paradoxical nature in it other than the bluish square. Both the art and math aspects rate a 7, making the image, with its calculation time of 7 minutes somewhat over-rated. But the web sites exist for situations just like this. To save calculation time, the finished image is or soon will be posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> with variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A mix of clouds and sun with a high temperature of 50F 10C made today rather pleasant here at Fractal Central. At least the fractal cats thought so. The older cat Nico spent the afternoon waiting for the breaks in the clouds to let the sun through; the young cat Jasmine spent the afternoon trying to decide where the next sunbeam would fall. The humans simply made it through the day uneventfully, which is boring but pleasant. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when a liberal thinking person says we must do something about 'global warming', I usually ask him to be more specific about the 'something' he thinks we should do.

FOTD 13-11-13 (Land of Terraces [A-7.5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 13, 2013 (Rating A-7.5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that is generated when straight Z is combined with sqrt(0.5) parts of Z^(4.01) before straight C is added on each iteration. This parent resembles a Mandelbtot set rotated so that its west side faces southeast. Its normally solid East Valley, now on its northwest side, is cleaved into two prominent 'wings' by a large intruding valley. Today's scene lies on the edge of this large valley, which separates the two 'wings'. The name "Land of Terraces" describes what I imagine I see in the image. Others could easily see things entirely different. In an effort to make something of a lackluster image, I rendered the scene with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod'. The result raises the art value to an amply adequate 7.5, while the math value remains at a bearable 5. With only slight variations, I borrowed the parameters from an image recently sent to me by Sebastien. The calculation time of 4 minutes is a bit slow, all the more reason to seek the web sites for relief. Check the finished images at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Partly sunny but quite chilly temperatures prevailed here at Fractal Central today. The high of 37F +3C was more typical of mid-December than mid-November. The older fractal cat enjoyed the sun when it was shining, while the younger fractal cat, who does not yet realize that she is a fractal cat, was fascinated by the passing scene outside. During the cat action the fractal humans had an uneventful day. I know that this report is dull. Those who want to read about relationships with more interesting interaction should pick up a romance novel. The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time, which will most likely be sometime tomorrow evening, U.S. Eastern Standard Time. Until then, take care, and thank goodness! I was worried that I might be a sasquatch!

FOTD 12-11-13 (Cusps of Wonder [A-8,M-5.5])
by Jim Muth 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 12, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us back to the East Valley of the parent Mandelbrot fractal that results when Z^(2.01) is calculated 1.5 levels up the hyperladder with no function applied. (We very recently checked this same valley.) Since the parent is rotated about 90 degrees, its East Valley, which is shaped like a wedge, is on the west side. Today's image lies at the inner extremity of the chaos shooting inward from this wedge. The name "Cusps of Wonder" refers to the eight cusps surrounding the central minibrot. The artistic rating of an 8 indicates that I am rather satisfied with the gloomy atmosphere of the image. The math rating of 5.5 shows that there is little new stuff in the math. The calculation time of 2 minutes seems appropriate for the scene. faster satisfaction may be enjoyed by checking the web sites however. For complete satisfaction check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and the variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> The day began with a temperature of 31F -0.5C and light snow, which piled up to an inch (2.5cm) by the time it ended at 7am. But by late morning the sky had cleared and by noon the sun had cleared away the snow. The fractal cats, who are showing signs of becoming the best of friends, watched the snowflakes in the early morning, then took it easy in the afternoon. One fractal human was glad the snow went away by itself; the other shrugged it off. The next FOTD will be posted who knows when. The best bet is 24 hours from now, so until whenever, take care, and the globe is growing warmer, there is no doubt of that. The question is how much warming is due to man's activities. My guess is about 5-percent, but some zealous environmental activists claim that we are responsible for 99-percent of the warming. (If this is true, then I'm a sasquatch.)

. Your images are fantastic (I have to render them myself, when I click on the GIF link I get another dum web page asking me to sine up or log in). I have also animated the Circle13 and BrotFellIntoAHole images; I rarely get comments or feedback either so I haven't bothered to upload them (yet). Don't take it personally! Stay Cool! BTW - how do you ever arrive at such a large complex FRM file formula? I have no idea what it is doing as I look at the code. .

FOTD 11-11-13 (Hexadecapus [A-8.5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 11, 2013 (Rating A-7.5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was created by combining 0.5 part of Z^6 with Z^3 and adding straight C on each iteration. The parent fractal is a large boomerang-shaped bay with X-axis symmetry, surrounded by countless smaller holes. Today's scene lies near a hole just inland of the southwest shore line of the large bay. Not surprisingly, the holes radiating from the central minibrot in today's image are shaped almost exactly like the nearby larger hole. Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis', which creates the terraced effect. The name came about when I had the impression of an octopus with double the number of arms, which could only be called a "Hexadecapus". The art rating of 7.5 reflects the coloring effort I put into the image, with less than ideal results. The math rating of a 5 shows that nothing new and unexpected is revealed in today's FOTD. The calculation time of only 35 seconds is quite fast. Viewing the finished image on the web sites is equally fast. Make life easier by viewing the finished image plus all the unexpected variations on the web sites at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> More clouds than sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today. With little wind, the temperature of 50F 10C felt comfortable enough, though the older fractal cat, Nicholas, would have preferred more sun on the shelf in the southwest window. The fractal humans made it through the day with little happening that was worth remembering. The next FOTD will grace the list in about 24 hours. Until then, take care, and environmentalists want to fight global warming and at the same time eliminate dangerous nuclear power plants. These are worthy goals, but despite the optimistic claims of the dreamers, clean renewable energy can supply only a tiny part of our energy demand. This means that to achieve a cleaner safer environment, people will need to survive with much less energy. I doubt that many would be willing or able to make the necessary sacrifices, such as getting rid of their motor vehicles, living without air- conditioning in warm humid climates, (Swamp coolers would work well enough most of the time in hot dry climates.), and eliminating the energy guzzling internet and mobile phone networks. And, being people who care, we would also want to help the emerging nations raise their standards of living, which means we would need to supply them with the necessary energy. The question is, with fossil and nuclear energy no longer available, and our own energy demand continuing to increase, where would the additional energy to help the underpriviliged but emerging nations come from?

Thank You! -----Original Message----- From: JackOfTradeZ(a)comcast.net Sent: Nov 10, 2013 9:42 PM To: fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Fractint] blah blah blah . What is with this "dropbox" thing? Can't you just post the images directly on your server like I do? I am tired of "signing up" for all these things and having to remember login PW, give away more personal info, etc! It ain't worth it anymore! Hellwiddit! .

HI, as no reply to my request, I take it that there´s almost no interest anymore in my images. So here´s one more, which definetely is the last one. "Sundown" came into being almost by itself today, more a good picture then a fractal.
