FOTD 11-01-12 (The Cabal of Evil [7.5])
by Jim Muth 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 11, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We somehow cleared away the work earlier today here at FC, which gave me the chance to find a quickie fractal. With nothing else in mind, I turned to the MandNewt06a formula and entered the parameters at random. Actually, the entire formula is a study in randomness. It has something to do with finding roots, but I have made so many changes to it that it now does basically nothing but create meaningless fractals. The figure-8 element in the background is a result of calculating the image with the 'inside' set to 'atan'. The foreground snowflakes are partially evaporated 'outside' stuff. As the value of the exponent of the (p3) parameter is reduced, the snowflakes increase in coverage; as the value is reduced, the snowflakes dry up. The name "The Cabal of Evil" refers to the belief that earth is being ruled by an evil cabal headed by aliens from outer space, who have been conspiring for nearly ten-thousand years to take over earth and make slaves of humanity. All I have to say about this is that it is a very ineffective conspiracy. There is little more to be said about the image and formula, which puzzles me as much as anyone. The rating of a 7-1/2 might be a bit inflated. The individual fractalist will have to run the parameter file, which will take 3-1/2 minutes, or go to one of the FOTD web sites and decide for himself. To save time, the finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high definition version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic web site is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with lots of sun here at Fractal Central, but clouds moved in just after noon and thickened during the afternoon until rain began at 6pm. The fractal cats observed this activity with total detachment. The day of the humans was busy but still a big improvement over the past few days. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and common sense does not always prevail.

FOTD RSS feed caught up

09 Jan '12

The FOTD RSS feed has caught up to the current postings. "My Name is Fractal" took 62 days to render.... <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2011/09/index.html> We're still grinding away on the older images, the feed is currently chewing on something that's taking it quite a while to render there as well. The feed finally filled up my allocation of disk space on XMission, so I'm automatically deleting the oldest images from the stream in order to keep my account under quota.

Bad and good news
by Jim Muth 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The bad news is that there will be no FOTD's for a few days because a very large job has come in here at FC, which will keep us very busy for a good part of this week. The good news is that the FOTD will resume on its regular daily schedule by this Thursday January 12th, give or take a day or two. JIM MUTH

nature always some kind'a rush

I could appreciated on the last Jim Muth frame a direct phenomenon of concatenation. Tank's you or tank's me it's really hard to say. Then following other fact i taught that it might ease a few scene if i publish my techno_mushroom who is been calculated in the past year. Here is the story. : I was logging in the north of quebec to gain money to build up my electro-poltergeiser, one day will i was taking my lunch close from a river, i see a area of exploded grey mushroom, some where still growing and skin of mushroom where everywhere like exploded then i walk further from this area to find my first big purple psylocibine mushroom, i figure it was psylocibine after try, my day of work end up shorten. Taste on tast another and so on for a few hour until i get lost in the forest. Then i'v been intoxicated for a few day jam on my back laughing, the people of the crue taught i was ill. After the intoxication i'v hick back their or around to find a gigantic red mushroom, red like computer red, no fly stick on it then i toutch it to have a intense instant hallucination. following the red mushroom or to be more accurated in is area i find a vast feild of been shaped brown mushroom, since i did'nt whant to be intoxicated i just observe them to notice that rat where eating them.. then i free myself and the soup end up better than any canned stuff. The feild of brown mushroom was limited by white hot-dog form of other shroom with a yellow interior (the saucage) who look like quite deadly... then happen the fractal shroom who may represent a average of all other shroom. In conclusion shroom all shroom = techno shroom.. Still wonder about the hairy shroom i see after, i name it agony and haven't try it really, i just eat it in dream....

electric winter

Get your influenza shot!, i cut a cold thru the assembly of this frame, average bad, and end up on my back a few day. Will probably get on at integrating of snow flake later if it's mandatory (nature sometime ask for object) i'am well equiped for anyway but cannot take the microscope out for now. The frame in itself is a new kind'a reaction, probably cause it's now winter and nature is all well frozen, the reaction really switch to really electric pattern, and i'am actually happy of it cause the whole system is balanced, (no accident area)...

FOTD 06-01-12 (Out on a Limb [6])
by Jim Muth 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 06, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another quick one I found in a hurry. For this reason it rates only a modest 6. It lies far out on one of the infinity of main stems of the Z^(2.0000005)+C Mandeloid. The scene is located just east of a minibrot located around -1.996. It lies not on the stem but in some random debris just east of two partially merged minibrots. The extreme magnitude of 10^13 makes the mathtolerance entry necessary. The general area bears some resemblance to the area in the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid just east of the largest minibrot, where strange rectangles are found in both the Mandelbrot and especially the Julia planes. I doubt that any rectangles lie in the area of today's image however. The name "Out on a Limb" refers to the location of the scene. The calculation time of a mere 40 seconds will arouse no impatience. Find the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Find it in the splendor of hi-def at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Check the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Total sunshine prevailed here at Fractal Central today. Combined with the light winds and temperature of 55F 13C, it felt more like spring than the dead of winter. Needless to say, the fractal cats heartily approved of the weather, and spent most of the day basking in the most convenient spots of sunlight they could find. The humans spent the day basking in work. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, but tomorrow is Saturday, and the chance always exists that an antiquing expedition might arise. Until whenever, take care, and if I tell of a dream that I actually did have, does this make the dream a real thing?

FOTD 05-01-12 (Fractal for Today [5.5])
by Jim Muth 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 05, 2012 (Rating 5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image leaves much to be desired, but we should consider ourselves lucky that the FOTD is here at all. The day's fractal search went badly, and other things that needed to be done piled up to cut short the fractal-searching time. The result is an image that rates a 5-1/2, with 1/2 point due to the coloring. The parent fractal is a result of mixing an infinitesimal part of Z^(-257) with Z^2 on each iteration before adding C. The parent fractal is a stack of overlapping circular disks roughly arranged in the shape of a Mandelbrot set. Today's scene is located in what would be the East Valley of the M-set. The name "Fractal for Today" is basically no name at all. It simply describes what is already obvious. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is good news. It means that little time will have been wasted if the fractalist doing the calculation is disappointed. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The hi-def version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds, with a high temperature of 37F +3C made today a day so unexceptional that it is best forgotten, as it probably will be tomorrow. The fractal cats forgot the day before it ended. The humans never remembered it to start. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. One thing near certain is that, with today's image so lacking, tomorrow's can only be better. Until then, take care, and believers know that God exists, while Atheists know that God is only a superstition. To me this means that it is possible to be wrong even when one knows that he is right.
