FOTD -- January 02, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD, which was written on January 1, is another quick one. I found the scene in about the same length of time the parameter file takes to calculate. The lack of effort shows. The image shows an order-7 minibrot in a quadratic setting, with the usual confusion in the outer parts of the pattern around the minibrot, where hints of a quintic nature are also creeping in. The name "Intrepid Iteration" simply came to mind as I studied the image. There is no reason behind it. The lack of a rating implies the corresponding lack of effort. The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes will require a modicum of patience, but no patience at all is required to surf out to the FOTD web site and view the finished image there. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A mixture of clouds and sun here at Fractal Central on Friday, with a temperature of 37F +3C, made the first day of the new decade un-notable. The fractal cats agreed, doing nothing un- notable themselves. My day was off-and-on acceptable. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and one of these days we'll have a breakthrough.
