FOTD -- May 02, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in the fractal that results when negative portions of Z^(-0.5) and Z^(-2.5) are combined, and (1/C) is added. It resembles a scene on an alien planet, with a strange alien object floating in the alien sky. I named it "Infinite Floater". The effect was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'fmod'. Since I enjoy pictures of fantastic otherworldly vistas, I rated today's image at a 5. Those who do not enjoy fantasizing about what might be seen on other planets might rate it closer to a 3. Luckily, the image is a fast one, and even luckier, the finished GIF image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Rather pleasant weather on Sunday made for rather pleasant cats, who needed no tuna to end the day. This morning I see increas- ing clouds with rain forecast. The duo's good day might not be repeated. My day will be kept occupied by an unexpectedly heavy arrival of new work. Until next FOTD, take care, and take it easy.
