      FOTD -- January 10, 2006 (NO RATING)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

A minor backlog of work makes today's discussion necessarily 
brief.

Today's unrated fractal resulted when I subtracted Z^(-1.5) from 
Z^(1.5) and added (1/C).  I rendered the scene with the outside 
set to 'real', which adds a bit of action to an otherwise flat 
image.

It would hardly be fair to rate an image that I found and 
colored in less than 10 minutes.  It would also be unfair to 
give a name to such an image.  But it is quite fair to state 
that the image renders in less than 9 minutes, which, for those 
who are dis-satisfied with the result, will keep the wasted time 
within reasonable limits.

But no time at all will be wasted by visiting the FOTD web site 
at:

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

and downloading the finished GIF image from there.

The search for a new fractal central went well over the weekend. 
If things work out, we will be moving to Sunbury, Pennsylvania 
by April.  The city at the fork of the Susquehanna River has 
seen better days, but the prices are right, and since we do most 
of our work on the internet, we will not need to find employment 
there.  The new F.C. is a huge rambling victorian house with 
more nooks and crannies than one could explore in half a life-
time -- exactly what fractal lady and I have always wanted.  
But, as I said, all this is if things work out.  We are still 
waiting word that our offer has been accepted.

Meanwhile, back here at the old fractal central, my sister took 
good care of the fractal cats while we were away.  In fact, she 
took too good care of them.  They were so full of tuna that they 
barely touched Monday evening's serving.  The next FOTD will 
appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and it will soon be 
farewell forever to Bodymore Murderland.
