FOTD -- December 23, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another big rush here at FC on Tuesday means another abbreviated discussion. This trend is likely to continue until after the holidays. The formula behind today's image combines equal parts of Z^2 and Z^22, then adds straight C. The image is a harmless one -- just interesting enough to make it worth the calculation time of under 2 minutes, though not quite worth a name or rating. To totally avoid calculation, visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A mostly sunny day here at Fractal central on Tuesday was interrupted just after noon by a short snow squall, which dropped about 1/2 inch, 1cm, of fresh powder snow in 15 minutes. The temperature of 34F +1C kept the pavements clear, while the fractal cats grew cranky when the sun vanished. My day was very busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least it is due to be posted, but check back then to see if it actually does make it. Until next time, take care, and will the politically disappointed please queue up on the right.
