FOTD -- March 01, 2008 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Things are still tight here at Fractal Central.  Fractal lady is 
in the recovery stage, but still out of action, while I do 
double duty.  And the reason I cannot send e-mail through Mind-
spring (Earthlink) is because they now require authentication.  
I'll need to change some settings in my e-mail client, but I 
have not yet found the time to search for the way to do it.

In the meantime, today's fractal is a scene in the East Valley 
of the (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C Mandeloid.  It is just unusual enough 
to earn a rating of a 7.  The name "Much Ado About Values" can 
mean whatever the individual FOTD viewer wants it to mean.

Curiously, in the area of today's image, the inner features of 
the Z^(2.0000001) and (-Z)^(20000001) Mandeloids are virtually 
identical, while by contrast, the Z^2.5 and (-Z)^2.5 Mandeloids 
are entirely different.  

Today's parameter file calculates in 3-1/4 minutes, about the 
same time it takes to hustle to the FOTD web site at:

       

and enjoy instant satisfaction there.

Morning sun was followed by midday clouds and light afternoon 
snow here at Fractal Central on Friday.  By FOTD post time about 
3/4 inch 2cm had piled up on the fractal sidewalk.  The fractal 
cats watched with curiosity, then settled by the heat for a long 
warm nap.

My day continued very busy, and I see no reason tomorrow will be 
different.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
then, take care, and work to make it a better world.  You might 
even do a little good before you find out it's impossible.
