[Fractint] FOTD 16-07-05 (A Fractal Image [3])

16 Jul 2005

      FOTD -- July 16, 2005 (Rating 3)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It is 4:05pm.  Today's FOTD is late due to a heavy storm and 
power outage from noon until 3:30pm.  But things are now back 
to normal.

I am disappointed with today's image.  When I first saw the 
parent fractal, which was created by combining 2 parts of 
Z^(-0.1) with Z^2 and adding C, I had high hopes for a great 
image.  But alas, my hopes were in vain.  The parent fractal 
appears quite interesting on the surface, but deep inside it 
has little of worth.  Totally uninspired with the outcome of 
the day's exploration, I named the image "A Fractal Image" and 
rated it at a lowly 3.

The parameter file, which takes 23 minutes to run, is far too 
slow for such an unimpressive image.  A far more efficient way 
of viewing the humdrum fractal is to download it from the FOTD 
web site at:

88F 31C degree heat and high humidity made things uncomfortable 
for humans on Friday, but no rain fell, giving the cats a dry 
afternoon in the holly thicket.  When dusk arrived, they came 
inside for their tuna treats without complaint.  Today is 
starting the same, but distant thunder is grumbling.  Unless it 
storms, today will likely be another acceptable day for the duo. 
For me, it will likely be an uneventful day.  The next fractal 
will come from nowhere and will appear as the next FOTD in 24 
hours.  Hopefully, it will be an improvement over today's.
