FOTD 25-12-09 (Ultra Quickie [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 25 Dec '09

25 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 25, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The rush here at FC is extreme, so the discussion is correspond- ingly brief. Today's image is nothing more than an interesting network of filaments near the tip of the main stem of a distorted Mandelbrot set. The image takes almost no time to calculate, so any disappointment will be limited to the nuisance range. I gave the image no rating. The name "Ultra-Quickie" refers not to a high-speed super-hero like The Flash, but to the 20-second calculation time. As always, the completed image is posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Total sun and a temperature of 36F +2C here at Fractal central on Thursday made the fractal cats very happy as they tried to help wrapping the presents. When Nicholas started eating a bow however, we had to tell them we needed no help. The next FOTD is due in under 12 hours. If all goes well, it will be posted on time. Until then, take care, and be conservatively liberal.

FOTD 24-12-09 (Pits and Bieces [6])
by Jim Muth 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 24, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image turned out quite well considering the whopping 3 minutes or so it took me to find it. It turned out well enough, in fact, that I decided to give it a rating of a 6. The exponent of Z in today's image is 1.77828, which just happens to be the 4th root of 10, not that this makes much difference in the appearance of the image. The fact that the parent fractal was calculated 14 levels up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral with no function applied is far more significant. Most of the effect is created by the color palette, which was actually created by the Fractint program with a single strike of the <enter> key. The name "Pits_and_Bieces" is a slight variation of "Bits and Pieces", which needs no explanation. The only thing left to mention is the very fast 65-second running time of the included parameter file. The finished image is posted as always on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Full sunshine but a brisk temperature of 25F -4C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday kept the fractal cats toggling between their window shelf and the heat source. With me, things contin- ued hectic. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but with so much to be done on the day before Christmas, there is a good chance I might not have time to do an FOTD. Until whenever, take care, and be patient.

FOTD 23-12-09 (Quickie Number-01 [No rating])
by Jim Muth 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

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.

FOTD 22-12-09 (Going in a Circle [No rating])
by Jim Muth 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 22, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The discussion will be brief, so the image will have to speak for itself. On the surface, the parent fractal is a huge Mandelbrot set. In its depths it has order-11 characteristics. Today's scene, which is located in a filament extending from the large main- stem minibrot of the parent, illustrates the exponent mixture. The magnitude is a bit beyond the limit of resolution, though the deficiency is barely noticeable. The name "Going in a Circle" is a comment on the circular pattern of elements surrounding the minibrot. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will pass in a flash. A visit to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the finished image will be even flashier. A very typical first day of winter prevailed here at Fractal Central on Monday, with snow covering the ground, lots of clouds, a cold northwest wind and a high temperature of 34F +1C. The fractal cats decided early in the day to keep snug by the heat, and came to life only when they got hungry. My day was even busier than Sunday. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours -- unless something unexpected happens, that is. Until then, take care, and what is absolute truth?

FOTD 21-12-09 (Wil-of-the-Fractal [No rating])
by Jim Muth 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 21, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's short discussion tells of another very busy day. Today's image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's image. Since I found the image almost automatically, I could give it no rating. The name "Wil-of-the-Fractal" refers to the wil-o'-the-wisp, which is actually nothing more mysterious than a slowly oxidizing blob of swamp gas. The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is satisfyingly fast, as fast, in fact, as the trip to view the completed image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Sunday here at Fractal Central began with an hour of sidewalk clearing. The rest of the day featured lots of sun, melting snow, and a temperature of 36F 2C. The fractal cats watched from the window with interest as I cleared away the snow. Then they took advantage of the ample sun. For me and FL, the rest of the day was very busy with work. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Once again, I can give no assurance that it will actu- ally appear. Until next time, take care, and dream great dreams.

FOTD 20-12-09 (Minor Miracle [No rating])
by Jim Muth 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 20, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another rush day brings another brief discussion. Today's image lies in the parent fractal that comes about when five negative parts of Z^(-1.5) are mixed with one negative part of Z^(-5) and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal consists of three large bays, vertically-stacked. Today's scene is located on the southwest shore line of the middle bay, deep in the valley that separates it from the lower bay. Most of the effect of the image is a result of rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis'. There is no way I could give a rating to an image that I found in about 2 minutes. The name "Minor Miracle" refers to the fact that, with the work stacked up as it is, it's a minor miracle that I found it at all. The calculation time of under 2 minutes will cause no boredom. 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> Winter became quite obvious here at Fractal Central on Saturday, as light snow fell all day and the temperature hovered around 28F -2C. By nightfall about 2 inches, 5cm had piled up. (Curiously enough, about an hour ago I got a phone call from my sister back at Old Fractal Central telling me that the snow there, about 150 miles south of here, is over 16 inches (40cm) deep, and drifted twice that high.) The fractal cats gave the outside little attention, remaining close to the heat all day. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. But as always, there is no guarantee that it will appear on schedule. So until next time, take care, and be with peace.

CORRECTED FOTD 19-12-09 (PI Minus PI [No rating])
by Jim Muth 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 19, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I inadvertently included the wrong formula in the first FOTD for December. This version has the correct formula. A super-rush prevailed here at Fractal central on Friday, but somehow a fractal still happened. One glance at the parameters reveals why today's near-instant image is named "PI Minus PI". The scene lies at the east end of the parent fractal.

FOTD 19-12-09 (PI Minus PI [No rating])

19 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 19, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A super-rush prevailed here at Fractal central on Friday, but somehow a fractal still happened. One glance at the parameters reveals why today's near-instant image is named "PI Minus PI". The scene lies at the east end of the parent fractal. Despite this very brief discussion, the image may be heard speaking for itself by running the parameter file or by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Cloudy skies and a temperature of freezing made Friday a typical winter day here at Fractal Central.

FOTD 18-12-09 (Banana-Custard Pie [No rating])
by Jim Muth 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

FOTD -- December 18, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to the seasonal rush, today's discussion will be very brief. The image is a scene in a parent fractal that has a Seahorse- type valley where its East Valley would be expected. The scene is located in the northern arm of this Seahorse-East valley. I gave the image no rating but named it "Banana-Custard Pie" for reasons known only to myself. The calculation time of just over 1-1/2 minutes will cause problems for no one. And as always, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Partly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 30F -1C gave quite a winterish feeling to the Fractal Central area on Thursday. The fractal cats simply ignored the weather, while my day was very busy. It's hard to say when the next FOTD will be posted. It could be as soon as 24 hours, or perhaps not for 48 or even 72 hours. Until whenever, take care, and be watchful.
