FOTD -- July 23, 2005 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The FOTD rating continues creeping up. Maybe, if the present trend continues, we will be back at a rating of 8 in a couple days. Today's image is a zoom into one of the northern filaments of yesterday's image, so the features bear a strong resemblance. But the magnitude is 10^12 times that of yesterday's image, which makes the image more interesting. It also makes the render time about 650 times as long, which is not so interesting. I named the image "Mandelbrot Midget-2", the most logical name I could think of. There are two ways to see the image. The slow way is to run the included parameter file and have a relaxing wait. The fast way is to download the finished image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The high temperature of 93F 34C on Friday here at F.C. was a bit too much for the fractal cats to take. They cut short their outdoor time after only 45 minutes in the holly patch, and settled under the cool air vent for the rest of the day. This morning is starting somewhat cooler and less humid. The cats will likely approve of the conditions. For me it looks like a rather busy day coming up. There is some graphic work to be done and, if I feel extra energetic, grass to be trimmed. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and are dreams real?
