Re: [Fractint] Multi-tasking with FracTint
by Jay Litwyn 11 May '11

It turns out that running fractint in different directories does not solve the problem of cross-talk between concurrent copies of fractint, either. I did not examine my test on running fractint in different directories very thoroughly. I still think that FracTint is using a static name for a temporary file. Perhaps it is being created in FracTint's home directory.

FOTD 11-05-11 (Rectangular Spiral [8.5])
by Jim Muth 11 May '11

11 May '11

FOTD -- May 11, 2011 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In yesterday's discussion I remarked that some of the rectangles in this area of the Julibrot are not empty, but filled instead with some kind of stuff. In today's image I give a sample of what this 'stuff' looks like close up. The name of the image is "Rectangular Spiral", and this indeed is what I found inside one of the rectangles a short distance off of the X-axis. (The farther from the X-axis a rectangle is located, the more distorted it becomes, and the more it fills with debris.) Today's image is filled from stem to stern with rectangles of all sizes and shapes, the whole assemblage forming a kind of infinite square spiral. And the elements in the large spiral are filled with smaller square spirals, all the way down. The rating of an 8-1/2 indicates that I consider the image well above average, and includes a half-point coloring bonus. If I had found a minibrot in the scene, I would have raised the rating to 9-1/2. (Minibrots probably are in there, but found well beyond resolution.) The calculation time of 2 minutes may be bypassed by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Those who prefer their fractals in high-definition will find their wishes granted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Paul's classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Near perfect conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday -- total sun, light winds and a temperature of 73F 23C. The fractal cats slept through most of the good weather. OTOH, the humans worked through most of the day, taking time out in the garden to enjoy the pleasant weather. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. Most likely, it will appear on schedule. Until then, take care, and sometimes I get a vague, gnawing feeling that the scientific description of life misses something very important.

FOTD 10-05-11 (Little Lost Midget [9.5])
by Jim Muth 10 May '11

10 May '11

FOTD -- May 10, 2011 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's FOTD we remain in the rectangle-infested area of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid, where I found another minibrot surrounded by rectangles. This minibrot is a notable improve- ment over yesterday's however. The fractal features are better, the colors are better, and the rectangles are far more apparent. Add all this together and the rating leaps to a 9.5. If I had put more work into the colors, the rating might have been a 10. In yesterday's discussion I said today's image would feature one of the rectangles that were barely visible in yesterday's image. I calculated the image as promised, but before making it the FOTD for today, I discovered today's actual image, which is much better. I also discovered that some of the rectangles in this area of the Julibrot are not empty inside, but are filled with a curious kind of chaos that promises to hold more unexpected fractal wonders. Perhaps one of these filled-in rectangles will appear as tomorrow's image. The name "Little Lost Midget" describes the minibrot at the center of today's scene. This name actually came to mind a bit too easily, which leads me to wonder whether I have already given a previous FOTD this same name. The calculation time of just under 2 minutes is near FOTD average. And as always, this time may be saved by surfing to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> where the completed image is posted. The hi-def version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> and the original classic web site is available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Monday turned into a repeat of Sunday here at Fractal Central, with blue skies, puffy white clouds and a temperature of 70F 21C. The only flaw was a wind that was a little too fresh. The fractal cats held contention among themselves to a minimum, which usually means they approve of the conditions. The activity in the human department was routine, leaving little to comment on. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and some saints claim to have seen heaven. Does this prove that some saints are delusional or that heaven does in fact exist? Or does it merely show that we don't know?

FOTD 09-05-11 (A Hidden Peninsula [7])
by Jim Muth 09 May '11

09 May '11

FOTD -- April 09, 2011 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to the land of the mysterious Z^(2.003)+C Julia rectangles. But today we are not concerned with Julia rectangles. Today we are after bigger game. We investigate the Mandelbrot aspect of the area. In the Mandelbrot orientation, the Julia rectangle corresponds to a tiny peninsula jutting west into a tiny bay on the east shore line of the strait connecting the partially overlapping large minibrots on the infinitely divided main spike of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid. When I first arrived in this Mandelbrot area, I almost gave up. Nothing even remotely resembling a rectangle or a minibrot was visible. But after a short search I stumbled upon a feature with the 2-way symmetry that often indicates the presence of a minibrot. Today's image shows the minibrot that I found. Since Mandelbrot sets are kind of catalogs of all the Julia sets created by a particular formula, today's image should be filled with open rectangles, and indeed they are there, most of them beyond resolution but some well within range. In tomorrow's FOTD a full-blown Mandelbrot rectangle will be featured. The name "A Hidden Peninsula" refers to the tiny peninsula that holds today's scene. The rating of a 7 is FOTD average. The calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes is on the slow side, so I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> to see the finished image without the task of rendering it. The image is available in hi-def at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site may be found at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> BTW, we are considering posting a picture gallery of the cat action here at FOTD. I have been writing of the fractal cats for many years. Now we feel it is about time to give them the exposure they deserve. Saturday brought clouds and rain showers to Fractal Central, while Sunday brought lots of sun and a temperature of 68F 20C, earning the approval of the fractal cats. On the human side of things, nothing went wrong, which makes for a satisfactory day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and before you put your faith in skepticism, think ration- ally about it.

There was a time when it would start reliably. I do not know what changed. Oh...maybe I do. I changed the sstools.ini file for running it with my parameter files. Maybe it would be better if I adapted parameter files to run with default sstools.ini file settings, anyway; formulafile="..\pars\prand.par" I managed to discover that I am using patchlevel eight. I think that's beta five. I am not sure why versions and dates are not identical. There could be initials for the sourceror.

FOTD 07-05-11 (Gate to the Abyss [8.5])
by Jim Muth 07 May '11

07 May '11

FOTD -- May 07, 2011 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we take a return trip to perhaps my favorite of all fractal objects -- the rectangle in the Julia set of the East Valley of the large split-apart minibrot on the infinitely divided main spike of the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid. This rectangle exists in its pure form only in the real(z) and imag(z) directions. In the real(c) direction it quickly shrinks to a dot and totally vanishes. In the imag(c) direction it falls apart at once, without bothering to shrink first. But in some strange manner, it manages to also appear, in an extremely squashed form, in the Rectangular and Oblate planes, where it must be considerably stretched to unsquash it. In today's image we see the rectangle at an orientation halfway between the Julia and the Rectangular, which makes the necessary stretching less extreme. To see other rotations, vary the real(p2) parameter from zero, which will give the Rectangular view, to 90, which will return to the original Julia rectangle. The stretching will need to be adjusted along the way. I named the image "Gate to the Abyss". At this new angle, the rectangle actually does resemble a doorway to a vast unknown. As to what that unknown might be, I leave it to the viewer to determine. To me, it is the fourth dimension. Since I did put extra effort into the coloring, I rewarded myself with a half point bonus for the coloring, bringing the image's rating to a very respectful 8-1/2. With a calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes, running the included parameter file will be a minor chore. The pre-calculated image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Friday began with lots of sun here at Fractal Central. A thin overcast arrived in the afternoon and filtered the sun, though it remained dry. The temperature reached a high of 70F 21C, which pleased the fractal watch cats. They manned their posts in the window, guarding against intruding strays. The day of the humans was reasonable enough. I spent the day scrounging up fractals, while FL passed the day recuperating from Thursday's garden work. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. But sometimes Saturday brings a trip to a local antique emporium, so do not be concerned if the FOTD for May 08 is late. Until whenever, take care, and was it a fully rational scientist or a crackpot mystic who claimed that the world we observe around us is surrounded by other invisible worlds?
