FOTD -- June 02, 2004 (Rating 5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
As is happening more frequently lately, the amount of work
waiting to be done means that the discussion will be short.
Today's fractal, which combines the positive and negative
square-roots of 2, is filled with so much detail that it is
downright reckless. This is why I named it "Reckless".
The over-detailed effect was produced by rendering the scene
with the outside set to 'summ' rather than the usual
equal-iteration bands.
The excess detail actually clutters the scene and holds the
rating to an average 5, though those who prefer their fractals
teeming with detail might consider a higher rating.
The rating of 5 combines with the coincidental render time of
0:06:06.06 to give an overall value of 82.
Those who would rather not render may find the finished GIF

With a temperature of 81F 27C, brilliant sun, deep blue sky,
gentle winds and puffy white clouds, the weather here at Fractal
Central on Tuesday would have been perfect were it not for the
violent thunder-storm that suddenly arose at 3:30pm and sent the
dynamic duo scurrying for cover. Fortunately, they weathered
the storm safely in the closet, and came out for their comfort
shortly after the sun re-appeared. Today is again starting
perfectly, but I hear of more storms on the way. We'll see how
it goes.
I plan on finishing my work as early as possible. The local
electric company has a hard time keeping the juice flowing when
the weather acts up. I don't want to be caught with work to do
and the power down. If all goes well, I'll return in 24 hours
with the next in the apparently endless series of FOTD images.
Until then, take care, and batter down the hutches.
