FOYD for March 02, 2011

FOYD -- March 02, 2011 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Well, what do we have here? It's not an FOTD, it's an FOYD. This is not a typo, its a new breed of animal. I am now posting FOYD's -- Fractals of YesterDay. As I recently mentioned, I am reworking some of the old images to give my upcoming web site something out of the ordinary. Today's image is a 14-year-old one first posted in April, 1997 under the name Fractal Fern. A comparison of that old image with the improved version that I am posting in this FOYD makes it very clear that some of the old FOTD images have a lot of room for improvement. Since the work on the web site will leave little time to find new images, I will post some of the old ones that have been sig- nificantly improved by a second effort. But I cannot honestly call the old images 'Fractals of the Day', so I have decided to call them 'Fractals of YesterDay'. The latest news about the soon-coming web site is that FL has agreed to help me get it up and running when she has the time. In return I will include on my site a link to her pet project -- a word-search-puzzle site -- and she will do the same on her site. Fair is fair. My present plans are to post simple 640x480 images, along with the discussions and parameter files. But the images will not be mere duplicates of those on the old web site. The images on my site will be reworked to bring them up to my present standards. When I get the site up to date I will resume posting new FOTD images, perhaps in high definition, but this will be some distance in the future. Finally, I must state that things are still at a rudimentary stage. Most likely plans will change as we find out what will work and what will not. The weather here at Fractal Central on Tuesday was near perfect -- total sun and a temperature of 43F +6C. The fractal cats were quite frisky for some reason, and at one time I thought I heard them quarreling. My day and FL's day as well were quite busy, mostly working out web site problems. The next FOYD will be posted in a day or two, whenever I make enough improvement in some old image to make it worth posting at once. Until then, take care, and keep the fractal faith.

Fw: FOTD web site progress

"Many of the more recent discussions contain controversial off- topic stuff that I omitted from the versions I posted to the Fractint list. The discussions that will be posted on the new web site will include this deleted stuff that is sure to offend the more sensitive fractalists, or those with 'sacred cows', such as conservative or liberal politics, religion, rational thinking, science and technology, or political correctness in general." Great. Can't wait for you to kick some sacred cows. Like the good old days! Fair winds and following seas. John W.

FOTD web site progress
by Susan Brown 01 Mar '11

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: When I sent a test to the Fractint list through my mindspring address this morning, I found that the access block had been removed. But when I tried to send this message later in the day, it bounced. Apparently, the block is still in effect, but sometimes my messages take a different route through a server that is not blocked. Until I am sure the block is totally removed, I will post through this business address. With the list problem hopefully winding down, things are getting back to normal here at FC. Ideas for my upcoming FOTD web site are starting to take shape. To speed things up, I will re-use the main page I designed for Paul's FOTD web site. I am already reworking some of the images from April, 1997, which was the month when I began the FOTD. It will not be too much work since many images are already fine as is. I will post the address of the web site as soon as I have the month of April, 1997 up and running to my satisfaction. The discussions I wrote at this early point of the FOTD are rudimen- tary by current standards, but I will post them as is. Many of the more recent discussions contain controversial off- topic stuff that I omitted from the versions I posted to the Fractint list. The discussions that will be posted on the new web site will include this deleted stuff that is sure to offend the more sensitive fractalists, or those with 'sacred cows', such as conservative or liberal politics, religion, rational thinking, science and technology, or political correctness in general. As for the ongoing FOTD -- as soon as I get the month of April 1997 completely up and ready for viewing on the web site, I will try alternating days of working on the web site with days of posting new FOTD images and discussions. I really was at the boiling point when the Feb 27 FOTD bounced, and I feel I acted hastily when I completely scrapped the FOTD. It is hard to estimate the time required to get the first month ready. I hope to finish in a week or so. But with 168 months of back FOTD's to work on, and finishing one month a week, it will be over 3 years before the web site is up to date. We will find short cuts as we go along of course, and FL has volunteered to help when things are slow, so this time will probably be cut. As for things here at Fractal Central on Monday -- the day began with heavy rain and thunder. The rain ended by midday but the clouds hung on until nightfall, while the temperature ranged around 50F 10C. The fractal cats, who were lying low while I was in a bad mood, were quite playful as they chased each other up and down the hallway, ducking in and out of the book stacks on the hall shelf. I'll keep in touch on the list as the web site takes shape. And the FOTD is not quite as dead as earlier claimed. I will post it on an every-other-day basis as soon as the first month's FOTD's are up and running on the new FOTD web site. Until when- ever, take care, and this little episode might have been just the kick in the butt I needed to get really moving on the web site. Jim Muthjamth@mindspring.comjimmuth@earthlink.net
