FOTD 02-01-04 (Just For Fun [6])
FOTD -- January 02, 2003 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Fractals are for fun. True, they have other uses, and perhaps deep meanings that we are yet to fathom. They might even be a mathematical manifestation of God, but above all else, fractals are fun. And today's fractal is total fun. I was in a fun mood when I found it, and with its gaudy colors, the image looks like pure fun. The image is actually a scene in the fractal that results when various portions of Z^(-1.6) and Z^(-6.1) are combined and (1/C) is added. The formula, like the last two, is whimsical. (Most likely, tomorrow's FOTD will be a play on the fractions 1.7 and 7.1.) The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandeloid with four main bays, the easternmost of which appears the most critical, with lots of Mandel-buds and filaments that terminate in rings. Several disconnected features lie a small distance to the west and north of the main Mandeloid, but these play no part in today's FOTD. The midget in today's image is located near the point where the filament of an eastern bud intersects its terminal ring. To add a bit of 'zip' to the scene, I rendered it with the outside set to 'tdis'. Then I named the whole thing "Just For Fun", which, after all, is what fractals are the best at. The rating of a 6 is boringly average, though the render time of 3 minutes is thankfully short. And the image may be seen even faster by downloading it from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Once we got our act together here at Fractal Central on Thursday, the day went very well. There was lots of sun and the temperature reached 50F 10C, just mild enough to keep the cats happy during their afternoon in the holly thicket. In the evening, and against my better instincts, I went to a New Year's dinner at the home of the Fractal Lady's brother -- the second outing in 24 hours. I would rather have spent the evening in search of fractals, but all went well and now, when someone tells me to 'get a life', I can reply that I have one. But today is starting rainy, the dinners are past, and the cats already look sullen. Check back in 24 hours to see how things turn out. Until tomorrow take care, and if searching for fractals is not 'having a life', then what is?

If something such as this only gets a six - I'd give it a 9, the colors, especially the blues, are marvellous! - none of the stuff on my fractal page even makes it to -10. David gnome@hawaii.rr.com
Paul, I can't seem to access the FTOD for 01-02-2004 or 01-03-2004 on your page. Don't have your e-mail address, I would have e-mail directly if I did.

Hmm, worked fine for me. Very fine images, both of them! David gnome@hawaii.rr.com James McKenzie wrote:

Well, can not say why you are having difficulties, especially since the FOTD page for the 2nd has been accessed 46 times from around the world. And the last FOTD (for the 3rd) shows 24 accesses so far. Both pages show various ISPs have had no problems in reaching the pages. And speaking of "counts" for various FOTD pages.... The following are the top five viewed FOTD months: January, 1999 -- 4,702 April, 1999 -- 4,124 May, 1999 -- 4,082 December, 2001 -- 3,951 December, 1999 -- 3,923 And the top five viewed FOTD days are: April 12, 1997 -- 10,774 May 26, 2000 -- 1,349 November 10, 1999 -- 1,344 May 31, 2001 -- 1,269 August 20, 1999 -- 650
Don't have your e-mail address, I would have e-mail directly if I did.
My email address is prbably one of the easiest to obtain from the web. Besides having it on my main Home page, and my Fractals pages, several search engines will turn it up fairly quickly.
