FOTD 03-08-09 (The Worm Turns [6])
by Jim Muth 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 03, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Don't be shocked if today's image seems strangely familiar. It's merely a near-repeat of yesterday's image, with only a little tweaking of the same color palette and an 0.02-degree double rotation from the Julia orientation. The name "The Worm Turns" refers to the tiny departure from the true Julia direction. The rating of a 6 is generous for a near-repeat. The result is a bit more interesting than yesterday's image, though still far below top-FOTD quality. But why all this obsession with quality, whatever fractal quality might be? Fractals are for enjoyment. And today's image can be enjoyed to the fullest only 56 seconds after the included parameter file starts running. Another way to see the image is to view it on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Sunday started with light rain here at Fractal Central, but by mid-afternoon the sun appeared and the temperature reached 82F 28C, making the rest of the day quite pleasant. The fractal cats forgot their fractal roots when they got into a spat over the one remaining catnip rat. The next FOTD, not another repeat, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the asteroid that will eventually strike earth is already on the way.

FOTD 02-08-09 (A Deep Dark Forest [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 02, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: As I expected, I had to make a trip to Old Fractal Central on Saturday, and did not get back to new FC until noon Sunday, when the FOTD was already late and there was far too little time for a proper fractal search. In a rush, I found today's image and named it "A Deep Dark Forest". The image is actually a tiny part of a Julia set. Curiously, the entire Julia set consists of an infinite string of similar but gradually changing elements. The name refers to the blue, egg-shaped things surrounding the central element in the frame, which are actually fractal trees that have not quite fully formed. A large number of trees makes a forest, thus the name. I never rate such hastily found images, and today is no exception, though if I were to rate it, I would probably give a rating of a 6.5, mostly for the coloring. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes may be cut in half either by setting the symmetry of the image to X-axis or by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> But before going to the web site, give Paul a fair chance to calculate and post the image. The weather was quite muggy at Old Fractal Central on Saturday, where the temperature reached 86F 30C and the one remaining old fractal cat, Thomas, spent the afternoon stretched on the stones in front of the fireplace. I hear things were pretty much the same back here at New Fractal Central, where the two new fractal cats, Nicholas and Cassie, spent the afternoon stretched under the cool air. If all goes well, the next FOTD will be posted in around 9 hours, but there is no guarantee, so don't hold your breath waiting for it. Until whenever, take care, and philosophize.

Re: [Fractint] Diode Animation?
by JackOfTradeZ＠comcast.net 02 Aug '09

. Well, I finally got it to work with tweax; it is one of the most interesting images I have seen, like with all the dots. However, there are no parameters to tweak so I can't do a morph animation, or as I was hoping, something that would model electricity thru a diode or something. Zooming in gets you nowhere fast; zooming out is ok for a few orders, then it STOPS at about E-005. You cant back out further - keep getting the same image. (I have seen this before. Strange) .

FOTD 01-08-09 (Brontosaurus [7])
by Jim Muth 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 01, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's fractal I mixed Z^2 with half as much Z^4 and added straight C. This combination creates another parent fractal shaped like a boomerang. Today's image is located on the outer edge of the boomerang, near the point where it is curved. The image rates a 7, mostly because I kind of like the soft pastel coloring. The name "Brontosaurus" has no connection with the image. In fact, I believe the brontosaurus is no longer considered a single species of dinosaur, since so many dinosaurs of the same general type existed. The already brief calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes may be eliminated entirely by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Clouds and rain spoiled Friday here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 75F 24C would have been near perfect if the day had been dry. As it was, the fractal cats had to content them- selves with raindrops on the window. I'm thinking of giving them a screened porch by next summer so they can enjoy the great outdoors without having to be constantly watched. We'll see how it goes. Except for the weather, things went quite well on Friday, with the real work finished by 2pm. But there might be a trip to Old Fractal Central coming up on Saturday, so if the FOTD for August 2 is late, you will know what happened. Until whenever, take care, and live life.
