>> Instead of changing back to text mode, it changes to some mode that my monitor can't even display (it just complains that the signal is out of scan range). << Interesting. That happened to me (just once) yesterday - I had to reboot by pressing the physical button! I wonder if that is an intermittant problem with the latest developer's patch of Fractint! (It happened to me when I hit the tab key to go to the tab screen - it's never happened before, and I've had the video card for years. It may be related to the high CPU speed we're both using. A message box appeared saying "Out of Scan Range" and the machine was dead. Is that message coming from Fractint, Jonathan?

Jim, >> I am also watching with interest the current thread on the Fractint list about CPU speed, since I plan on soon purchasing a new machine and want to be sure I choose the one that works the best and fastest with Fractint, and not one that can't even display the VESA video modes. << I also kept my old Millenium video card which runs 1600x1200 VESA mode. I can't play all these new 3D video games, but I can still run Fractint very fast! I also didn't post the benchmark here on the list because it measures the time to compute the 309th line of a very slow and deep arbitary-precision mandelbrot that took several hundred hours to get to that line. I sent the benchmark image to Pedro who will run it on an AMD Athlon and he will post the results tomorrow. (Running it in batch mode with savetime=-1 will time the line regardless of how long it takes, as savetime only saves at end of the row - a very handy feature for setting the showdot at the beginning of a line and on the next batch run - timing a line.)

FOTD 06-03-02 (Somber Center [6])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

FOTD -- March 06, 2002 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The FOTD CD preparation is in full swing, the main hold-up being the time required to re-render the old images, most of which are SF5 and SF7, at the SF6 800x600x256 resolution. I am also locating hundreds of my very early fractal efforts, which were created with several fractal generating programs and need to be converted to GIF format for inclusion on the CD. These very early images, some from before 1990, are of variable quality, but they do show the route I took on the way to the present stage of my fractal development. I am also watching with interest the current thread on the Fractint list about CPU speed, since I plan on soon purchasing a new machine and want to be sure I choose the one that works the best and fastest with Fractint, and not one that can't even display the VESA video modes. Today's fractal diversion is a quick trip to the Z^3+C Mandeloid for a quick, (if 18 minutes can be considered quick,) glance at a cubic midget. I named the image "Somber Center" because the brilliant and lively detail in the outer areas grows ever more dull and somber as the midget is approached. The completed GIF image will be available in a few minutes on Paul's web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Tuesday here at Fractal Central was sunny but quite cold. Starting at 11F -12C, the temperature rose to 38F 3C by the afternoon, which was not nearly warm enough for the sensitive ears of the fractal cats, who demanded and got two treats of consolation tuna. As for me, I've got a couple customers demanding their jobs, which I had better get started on if I hope to finish by this afternoon. And of course, there's the work on the FOTD CD always waiting in the wings when I run out of other things to do. Until next time, take care, and a cube is sometimes better than a square.

FOTD 03-03-02 (Second Chance-01 [6])

06 Mar '02

FOTD -- March 03, 2002 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image, which rates a 6, is a zoom into one of my old FOTD images. This is why I named it "Second Chance-01". And yes, the '01' part does imply that I will be featuring many more zooms into old FOTD's. Those old images each hold infinities of scenes that were missed the first time I passed that way. It's time to give them a second chance at life. Today's image is found in one of the images that appeared in December of 1998. At the moment I forget which one. The formula is the direct precursor of my overworked MandelbrotMix4 formula. And the time required to see the second chance is 23 minutes, for those who choose to run the parameter file. It is far less when the GIF file of the image is downloaded from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Saturday was cloudy, with rain beginning in the afternoon. The cats were quite unhappy. The rain is still falling today, so the cats will once again be unhappy. A rainy day however is perfect for gathering and formatting old FOTD's. And I've still got an impressive amount of gathering to do. So until next time in a few days, take care, and start anticipating.

FOTD 22-02-02 (2-of-4 [4])
by Jim Muth 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

FOTD -- February 22, 2002 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The CD is progressing on schedule, with (so far) only minor problems. If things continue this way, the disk will be ready by this Summer, Winter, wet season, or dry season, depending on the climate where this letter is being read I named today's image 2-of-4, not because it reminds me of a Star-Trek episode, but because it is the second FOTD created with my new experimental formula, which mixes four powers of Z. The formula has been changed since I used it for the most recent FOTD, but the parameter files that were written using the first version of the formula will also work with the present version, (if the function is set to <ident>), so I did not change the formula name. Today's image rates only a 4. But this does not make the formula a failure. Rather, it is a sign that I have not yet become familiar with the things that might be possible when four powers of Z, some negative, some positive, are combined in a single iteration. To be honest, today's image resembles many images that I have passed over while using the M-Mix4 formula. I suspect that adding ever more powers of Z in a single iteration will soon result in diminishing returns, much as raising the exponent does in a formula such as Z^100+C. But I'll give my new formula a fair trial before consigning it to the graveyard of forgotten formulas. (Formulae for the over-educated.) The six-minute render time is bearable. Downloading the completed image is even more bearable. And the image can be downloaded from Paul's web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Thursday was ideal for man and cats alike -- warm sun, mild breezes, and a spring-like temperature of 66F 19C. Now that the midday sun has cleared the holly trees, the porch was ideal for Thomas and Tippy, who passed the afternoon there, sunning themselves and watching the robins. As for me, it's back to work and back to the FOTD CD, which is now 14 percent completed. Until next FOTD, take care, and things can only get better.

FOTD 28-02-02 (A Boring Lesson [2])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

FOTD -- February 28, 2002 (Rating 2) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I have seen a rumor on the Fractint list recently that the upcoming FOTD CD will be a musical one. I would like to put this rumor to rest. There will be no music on the CD, neither fractal music nor otherwise. Fractals make great visual images. They can even be used to select words from a dictionary and place them in an arrangement that will simulate bad poetry. But fractals do not make music that I have the patience to sit, concentrate on, listen to for hours, and be inspired by. When turned into sound, fractals do make very interesting background noise however, though I do not consider this cacophony to be music. Today's lowly 2-rated fractal is little better than 'fractal music', and it represents the end of my adventures with the experimental MandelbrotMix3 formula. The experiment has been a failure. The image shows why. This fractal is typical of those created by the formula. The image tries too hard. It has so much of everything that it ends up having a lot of nothing. It is so busy with competing themes that it has no single theme to serve as a center of attention. In frustration, I named the image "A Boring Lesson". In addition, the formula is exasperatingly slow, and requires the user to calculate a critical starting point manually. The outcome of all this is that the formula has been consigned to the trash bin of forgotten formulae. I have satisfied myself that, just as the Z^2 Mandeloid creates the richest fractal, so does mixing only 2 powers of Z create the richest mixed images. I leave it to the reader to decide whether a 2-rated image is worth the 50 minutes required to render it from the parameter file. Those who decide that the image is not worth nearly an hour of computer time may download the finished image from one of the following two web sites: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Wednesday here at Fractal Central was sunny but blustery and cold. In response, the mood of the fractal cats was also blustery. They passed much of the day on their shelf by the window, watching a flock of blackbirds scrounging for morsels in the yard and intermittently complaining about the cold. It's not time to finish the modicum of real work so that I can return to the preparation of the FOTD CD. Until a few days from now, take care and see you soon.

Fractint version 20.2 patch 3
by Jonathan Osuch 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Patch 3 to Fractint version 20.2 is now available on the developer's web site. Here's what's new: This patch ran the Xfractint code through -Wall to clear up most of the warnings. Updated the Xfractint man page. Turned on compiler optimizations. Fixed the documentation for the Latoocarfian fractal type thanks to comments by Pierre Desjardins on the Fractint Bug List. The Fractint and Xfractint files have been updated, but not the float-only Fractint files. They will take a while to get this patch incorporated. Jonathan
