thanks for the link. I have got one question, please: I love fractals but I know just a bit about them. Maybe my question is silly, maybe not: do you happen to know places in Italy, particularly in rome, where one can go and fidn someone who takes oyu by the hand to better undesrtand and study them? apart form University... maybe someone of this e-list does! thank you Jacopo ----Messaggio originale----Da: JackOfTradeZ(a)comcast.netData: 22/12/2008 14.55A: <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com>Ogg: Re: [Fractint] AOTD.error in link. sorry. try:http://www.fractal-animation.net/vid/tohuvavohu.zip.

FOTD 22-12-08 (Long Time No See [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 22, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things were very busy here at Fractal Central on Sunday, as we finished the decorations and FL started planning the dreaded holiday feast. All this frenzied activity left almost no time for a proper fractal, but I did manage to find one slow image, which I let calculate while I tried to get the treetop ornament properly straightened. I named the image "Long Time No See" because it takes 15 minutes to run, and when it is finished, there is little to look at. Since the image was given almost no effort, I gave it no rating. Though the image may be seen by runnung the included parameter file, by far the best way to view it is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view it there, wondering what all the excitement is about. Overnight snow Saturday added up to about 2cm here at Fractal Central. The snow ended on Sunday morning, and by noon the sun appeared. The fractal cats fully appreciated the brilliant afternoon sun and temperature of 37F 3C. But late in the day a high wind arose, quickly dropping the temperature to freezing and sending the cats scurrying for the heat. My day was spent in holiday preparations and discussing the idea of a business web site with FL, who thinks such a site would be profitable. (IMO we have enough work as it is.) The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and search for the true meaning of the season.

FOTD 21-12-08 (Groundhog Haven [7])
by Jim Muth 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 21, 2008 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's curious image lies in the parent fractal that results when 4 negative parts of Z^(-1.3) are mixed with 0.8 negative part of Z^(-7.6) and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal is the usual multi-bayed thing with the usual prominent 'fan' extending east from the origin. There is a very large minibrot near the eastern edge of this fan, though today's scene lies in a bit of debris inside the fan rather than in the minibrot. I named the image "Groundhog Haven". There is no logical reason for such a name. I apparently have no control over the phrases that come into my head when I am searching for a name. The rating of a seven seems about right for the image, which is only mildly great. The calculation time is downright great however. The 44 seconds is almost as fast as Nicholas finishes tuna and cheddar treats. An equally great way to see the image is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and study it there, gasping in awe and wonder. Despite ample afternoon sun, the outside temperature of 23F -5C kept the windows too drafty for the comfort of the fractal cats here at Fractal Central on Saturday. They decided to spend the day near the heat. My day was moderately busy doing last minute things of the season with FL. The next FOTD will be ready in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and make your fractals elegant, not elephant.

FOTD 20-12-08 (Fair-Weather Fiend [6])
by Jim Muth 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 20, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when a Mandelbrot set begins turning into a Z^(-33)+C Mandeloid. This parent fractal catches the Z^(-33)+C Mandeloid just starting to emerge. In this case the change is created by the tiny value of -(9*10^0000000000000000001), which is entered as the real(p2) parameter. Far lesser values may be entered when the parent fractal is on the screen, but they result in a blank screen when today's image is displayed. Today's scene is located along the positive X-axis, in one of the triangular points of the just-emerging Z^(-33) Mandeloid. The parent fractal has X-axis symmetry, though this has been lost by rendering the image with the outside set to 'summ', which disguises such symmetry. I renamed the image "Fair-Weather Fiend" when I glanced out the window at the sloppy scene outside. The original name was "Fair- Weather Friend". I had to cut short the coloring when FL hinted that the sidewalk needed to be cleared. As a result, I could give the image a rating no higher than a 6. This is still a bit above average, but nothing to e-mail home about. The calculation time of around 2 minutes is about what the image is worth. Those who think the image is not worth this much time may save a minute by viewing the image in finished form on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy snow Friday morning here at Fractal central gave way to ice pellets by midday and light rain in the afternoon, while the temperature hovered at exactly freezing. About 4-in 10-cm of slushy stuff covered the ground at day's end. The fractal cats looked upon the scene with disgust. My day was occupied with graphics work and shoveling the slush, but I still found time to find a kind of fractal. The next fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and experience the truth.

FOTD 19-12-08 (Olive Oil [6.5])
by Jim Muth 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 19, 2008 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's image we return to the good old MandelbrotMix4 series of formulas, still the most often used of all the FOTD series of formulas (formulae). The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, with a huge extra bay beyond its East Valley, which in this case is on the west side of the main bay. This new bay is enclosed by East Valley, which now appears in two branches, exactly like Seahorse Valley. Today's scene is located on the shore line of this East Valley that faces the new bay. I named the image "Olive Oil", not after Popeye's girl friend, but after the olive green colors of the bubbles. I could rate the image only at a 6.5, and this includes a 1/2 point reward for my coloring effort. The bubbly effect was achieved by rendering the image with the inside set to 'bof60'. The olive bubbles are actually open holes. The calculation time of a speedy 1-1/2 minutes may be avoided entirely by surfing out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and enjoying to the maximum the finished image posted there. Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 37F 3C made Thursday a rather pleasant start-of-winter day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats continued to keep their eyes on the local squirrels, who were still unusually active. My day was average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and it's obvious that nothing could exist but the natural world. Therefore all the so-called supernatural things skeptics dislike must be parts of the natural world that have yet to be accepted by conventional science. Skeptics and believers appear to be disagreeing on little more than where the natural world ends.

FOTD 18-12-08 (The Mandelbrot Set [6])
by Jim Muth 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 18, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a Mandelbrot set. The name "The Mandelbrot Set" is a little confusing. To begin, there is not one Mandelbrot set, but an infinity of them. The Mandelbrot shape is kind of a universal shape, much like the parabolic shapes that appear so often when the graphs of functions are plotted. Actually, the scene shows a tiny minibrot just east of the large Minibrot on the main negative spike of the Mandeloid that results when the familiar M-set just starts changing into the Z^(-2) Mandeloid. At this early stage of the changeover, only a few extra rings around the original M-set are obvious. Most of the effect of the image is a result of rendering it with the outside set to 'summ'. The apparent X-axis symmetry is an illusion. A close look will reveal that no symmetry exists. If I had more time to work on the colors, the image might have rated a 7. As it is, the predominant theme of orange and green is rather unattractive, holding the rating to a 6. The calculation time of a fireball 50 seconds makes up for the less-than-great colors. And the finished image is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Two centimeters of snow overnight Tuesday changed to rain at daybreak Wednesday here at Fractal Central. By midday, the temperature had reached 37F 3C, and the snow was gone, making the fractal cats happier. But the cats' main interest was watching the squirrels, which were unusually active gathering nuts all day. Maybe the squirrels know something about the coming weather that the weather people don't. We'll keep our eye on things for the next several days. My day was very busy, making for another hasty FOTD. The next in the apparently endless series of FOTD fractals will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and check for reason.

FOTD 17-12-08 (Going Too Far [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 17, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The rush continued here at FC on Tuesday, though things were not as hectic as on Monday, when we had two customers crying for their jobs immediately. This allowed me a bit more time to find a fractal, but the result still falls short of FOTD standards. Today's image is absolutely saturated with fractal detail, so much in fact that it suffers from the excess. With so much detail, I'm not even sure the image can be called good. I gave the image no rating. The name "Going Too Far" refers to the detail in the image, which is so excessive that it spoils the fractal effect. The scene lies in the East Valley area of a Mandelbrot set just starting to morph into a Z^(-12) Mandeloid. The tiny real(p2) parameter of 0.0000001 is what makes the M-set go crazy. The moderate calculation time of 4 minutes is still a bit too slow for such a mediocre image, but fractal salvation is to be found on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image is or soon will be posted for instant gratification. Heavy clouds prevailed here at Fractal central on Tuesday, while the temperature hung around 34F +1C. The few light flurries of snow melted as fast as they fell. The fractal cats checked the weather, then decided to spend the day exploring the bookshelves in the long hallway. My day was very busy, but nothing like Monday. The next FOTD will probably but not certainly appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and hope for the best.

FOTD 16-12-08 (Microscopic Outlook [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 16, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: An unusual rush on Monday means the FOTD for December 16 is not only quite late, it is also quite abbreviated. The image is simply a deeper scene in the same type of image as yesterday's FOTD. I named it "Microscopic Outlook" because of its magnitude; I gave it no rating because of its hastiness. The cauculation time of 5-2/3 minutes is a bit longer than the image is actually worth, so I recommend viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> But before surfing out there, give Paul a chance to calculate and post the image. Heavy clouds and occasional light rain spoiled the spring-like temperature of 61F 16C here at Fractal Central on Monday. The fractal cats sulked through most of the day, while my day was frantically busy. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a bit less fran- tic, though the actual appearance of a FOTD is problematic. Until next time, whenever that might be, take care, and when we finally see the truth, will it be the theists or atheists who we find out were right? (Atheists already tell me I'll never find out that they are right!)

FOTD 15-12-08 (Emergency Valley [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 15, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is another one found so hastily that I could give it no rating. It's actually a scene in the fractal that results when the Z^2+C Mandelbrot set is starting to change into the Z^(-15)+C Mandeloid. In this case the minute real(p2) parameter of 0.000000001 makes a world of difference. I'll not try to describe the parent fractal, which is very easy to calculate. But I will say that today's image is found in some new detail that has appeared some distance east of East Valley of the M-set. The name "Emergency Valley" was supposed to be "Emergent Valley", but when I typed 'emergency' by mistake, I thought it a serendipitous error, and kept the mistake. I had little time to work with the colors, which obviously could be improved quite a bit. The calculation time of a blessedly brief 48 seconds is just what the doctor ordered. As always, the finished image may be accessed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Lots of sun and a temperature of 45F 7C kept the fractal cats happy while FL and I decorated the tree here at Fractal Central on Sunday. Except for a minor disagreement about what ornament should be at the top of the tree, (star or angel), things went better than usual. The next FOTD will be along in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and stand by your fractal when it is in distress.
