FOTD -- October 16, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We successfully weathered another panicky day here at F.C. on Wednesday, with quite a few more to come I am sure. Today's fractal diversion reminds me of a fractal caught in the act of manifesting. I named it "Etheric Mandeloid", but gave it no rating. The parameter file is slower than the recent images, taking 8-2/3 minutes to finish on the fastest machine. Time may be saved however by viewing the completed image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Wednesday was a near perfect day here at Fractal Central, just a couple degrees cooler than Tuesday. The fractal cats made the most of things. My day was frustrating and tomorrow may be the same. The next FOTD has a 67-percent chance of being posted in 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and be prepared for the sudden appearance of unseen things such as fractals.
