FOTD 30-10-14 (A New Near-Julia-Set [A-8,M-8])
by Jim Muth 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 31, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is an 'almost' Julia set located in a different part of the same parent fractal that produced yesterday's image. Though the outer edge of the prominent object in today's image is shaped roughly the same as the outer edge of the object in yesterday's, the inner part is totally different. Yesterday's midget was filled with curving, spiralling arms surrounded by empty 'inside' areas, while today's is filled solidly, with only a few open dots in the lower right corner. The name "A New Near-Julia-Set" simply describes the nature of the image. The art and math both rate an 8. I put almost a half hour of heavy work into the coloring, and the 'almost' Julia sets are rather unique, something one does not read about in books about fractals. The calculation time of a fireball 30 seconds is fast by any standards. The brief time is mostly due to the rather low magnitude of a humble 222. Those who would rather not humble themselves, can catch the image on the web sites. The image has already been calculated and posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Mostly cloudy skies and a temperature of 54F 12C made things feel just right for Halloween here at Fractal Central today. And when the trick-or-treaters showed up, the two black cats in the window gave them a scare they will long remember. The fractal humans simply had a scary but otherwise uneventful day. The next FOTD will probably be delayed two days until November 3. Until then, take care, and everyone knows that ghosts are only a figment of the imagination, but what of those who have never heard about the imagination?

As my Dropbox is full and nobody replied to my request I had to reorganize my site. All internal links are not valid anymore but the main link still works, all files are still available. All music files, Flac and Mp3 are in a seperate folder, all images and par-files are located in the respective MOTD folders. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zx1sjqtln4vtovk/AABAhwj_Ovy2WCAnFejh_9bOa?dl=0 ; Albrecht

FOTD 30-10-14 (Almost a Julia Set [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 30, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows an 'almost' Julia midget, which is why I named it "Almost a Julia Set". An 'almost' Julia image is exactly what it says. True Julia sets are double rotated 90,90 degrees from the Mandelbrot orientation, so that they intersect the Mandelbrot plane in a single point at an orientation absolutely perpendicular to the Mandelbrot orientation. By contrast, the plane of today's image is rotated only 89.99,89.99 degrees from the Mandelbrot orientation, which makes it an 'almost' Julia image. The advantage of 'almost' Julia images is that the mini Julia sets in them are quite varied in their appearance, unlike the mini Julia sets in true Julia fractals, which are all of the same basic shape. Today's scene lies in a near-Julia view of the East Valley of the minibrot on the southern main spike of the Mandeloid parent fractal, which was created by the expression (-Z)^(2.5)+C. In my opinion, the image rates a 7 for both its art and math values. Also in my opinion is that the image, with its calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes, is rather slow. The web sites can eliminate this drawback however. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Heavy dark gray clouds, brisk winds and a temperature of 52F 11C brought a feeling of approaching winter to Fractal Central today. The fractal cats chose their chairs early and remained snuggly curled up most of the afternoon. The humans, always busy, made it through the busy day without incident, which is pleasant to live through but boring to tell about. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two or three. Until next time, take care, and there's a new world coming, that's for sure. But will it be better or worse than the world we have now?

XP still usable ?
by Albrecht Niekamp 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

HI, one of my computers still uses XP ServPack3. It´s a must because Fractint works superbly in the XP dosbox and my other favorite program Artsong20 will not run in any W7 constellation. Acc my experience XP ist much safer due several reasons 1.No malware is produced for XP anymore (hopefully) 2. If there is an infection its a matter of minutes to get rid of it, quite the opposite of W7 as you may know. 3. A lot of good features too numerous to mention, just have disappeared in W7. Here´s a recommendation that helps against malware attacks.. 1. Of course you must have antivirus and malware scanning: For me it´s Bitdefender - 3ways: Antivirus, Quickscan Internet protection and Trafficlight all for Firefox. It´s free, silent (no popups) and reliable, see tests. 2.Scanners are Emsiscan and Malwarebytes, also free and together unbeatable. 3. In case an attack has taken place - the events have become very few - I use Process Explorer by Sysinternals, available from Microsoft. This lists ALL processes with cpu time, size, company, location and registry keys. So mostly you check only the manufacturers and have identified the criminal, possibly only adware and so on. It can kill a process,. if not possible to delete the file there is the Unlocker that always helps, maybe by system restart. ; This is meant as a discussion base if you´re uncertain if you should change to W7. Maybe others have more helpful hints. ; Albrecht

Dropbox / Chillax2
by Albrechtx 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

HI, I have to revert to Chillax2 because I noticed that the MP3 quality - even at 320KB - is very bad. I dont know a free WAV-MP3 converter that lets you choose the MP3 Quality as it is possible with the MID-MP3 DirectMidi converter. Temporarily I have placed the WAV-file (143MB) into the regular MOTD folder but my Dropbox is full now. Dropbox is free, safe and easy to handle. If anyone wants to install it, announce here. He will get 500MB additionally, total 2.5 Giga, same for me. Sorry, I hate advertizing but this seems to be a fair offer. Albrecht

Good to have you back with your analyticaL ability. Babatunde Olatunji is also one of my favorites, including two magic oieces. I told you the Pygmees were the creators of the shifting rhythm, including some hard to find samples. It is not by accident that sometimes there is something which resembles my music, I use the same principle. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jy9toph53tskywf/AAA4mKmvhDmqqjRL8wYkgSZva?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rziw2ughcfvxsc3/AAAKHV4Pdx3LsD5aTd7a1Qh1a?dl=0 ; Albrecht
