[Fractint] FOTD 14-01-09 (Less Than Nothing [7])

14 Jan 2009

      FOTD -- January 14, 2009 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

An unexpected last-minute change on a job we thought was already 
finished left little time for fractal diversion on Tuesday.  But 
the MandAutoCritInZ formula makes interesting fractals almost 
automatically, and using it, I found an emergency image in a few 
minutes.

The parent fractal is one of those double minus things with a 
prominent fan extending east from the origin.  Today's image is 
located in a small valley at the edge of the fan.

I named the image "Less Than Nothing", which probably refers to 
the effort I put into it.  The rating of a 7 seems fair.

The calculation time of 9 minutes may be avoided by surfing to 
the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and viewing the finished image there.

Cloudy skies, a temperature of freezing and occasional periods 
of snow kept the fractal cats in poor spirits here at Fractal 
Central on Tuesday.  The changes to a supposedly finished job 
kept me in poor spirits.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and choose wisely.
