Well, I have been doing other things away from fractals. I just had a story published in a local mystery anthology (check my domain below if you're interested). More poetry, some songs and photos in progress. But fractals lurk in every corner, just waiting to leap out and pounce. David W.

RE fractint.org cert Ah, what a fine bunch of sharp-eyed fractint loyalists! :-) This is a bit off topic, but since list traffic is low, and several of you have expressed interest, here goes. The short explanation is that in my copious hours as a happy retired person I have numerous projects queued up, and some times unconscionable lengths of time go by between tactics. Too many rocking chairs to rock back and forth in and nap in, and so little time! https://fractint.net is the main fractint site, and the cert there is fine. fractint.net is hosted on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) that is managed by Dreamhost. For various reasons (control and to save a few bucks) I have been experimenting with migrating all my sites from the Dreamhost VPS to DreamCompute, which is an unmanaged service that allows one to spawn virtual machines that you configure yourself. fractint.org used to be a mirror of fractint.net, but I copied it to my DreamCompute instance. Various international trips (and the afore-mentioned quality time in rocking chairs) delayed my efforts. This is actually not hard to finish, I should bestir myself to do it. As one of you noticed, I am also migrating from the Apache web server to Nginx. The holdup on my end has more to do with some other sites I am hosting than fractint.org. One of them is a Wordpress site, which is a bit more complex. Fractint.net/org, on the other hand, is just static html with almost no complications. There was a learning curve involved in using DreamCompute. Since it is unmanaged, it's like putting Linux on your own box and installing and configuring everything yourself. No help of any kind. I have more or less learned what I need to know, though making an attempt to lock things down and have a reasonably secure setup is a challenge. I haven't done anything on this project since January. Joking about rocking chairs aside, my life is very full with a lot going on. My reason for working on web hosting is that I figure doing technical work keeps the brain going. That remains to be seen. There's really no excuse for me to have left fractint.org hanging in limbo, so without making any promises, I'll have a look and see what it takes to have fractint.org go live again. When done it will be a true mirror (a copy) of fractint.net, and not just a redirect to the same site. Tim

New Fractal Music by Albrecht
by Harold Lane 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Albrecht emailed me, saying: > I wrote a new piece of fractal music and mailed it to Fractint, > but apparently, it did not make it. > Can you assist and mail it for me? > Thanks > What do you think about it? Here's the file Albrecht emailed me: http://tinyurl.com/2017-03-19-FLYING-MID or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-03-19_FLYING.MID I found Albrecht's new fractal music, Flying, a gently floating, continuously forward moving, relaxing piece. The Fractint email list (especially the archives) has been having some problelms recently. Tim Wegner and I have been communicating about it. Sometimes things get better and then another problem will surface. Hopefully, things will get stabilized... - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Fractals in Cambodian ruins
by Timothy Wegner 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

I have returned from a recent trip to Thailand and Angkor Wat. Some of the buildings at Angkor Wat are in a wonderful state of preservation (partly due to huge maintenance efforts), Other ruins (there are several different building complexes within walking distance) are still partially rubble. One in particular was fascinating because a giant 1000-year-old serpentine tree has inserted itself in the rock walls. The result has a strange beauty, and certainly a fractal character. Archaeological recovery of the building/tree faces a philosophical obstacle, because now the tree is part of what needs to be preserved. I am sure the building will be renovated, almost certainly with the tree intact. Tim
