Hi Jim. Your latest isn't posted yet, but just to prove I still have a fractal heart I did some browsing. Very nice job especially on the following: FotD_06-12-08.html Deep and Low FotD_06-12-07.html Decorated Fractal I admire your dedication to the cause!

FOTD -- December 25, 2006 (Rating 7)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
A jolly good fractal image for a jolly good day. Today's image is not great, but it does rate a 7, which is notably above aver- age. The formula behind all the fun mixes 0.1 part of Z^(4.4) with 2 parts of Z^(0.4), then adds C to produce a distorted and rotated Mandeloid set with a new bay which may be entered through a split down the middle of East Valley. Today's scene is located on the shoreline of this new bay, very near the point where it enters into the main cardoid bay.
The image consists of about half-inside and half-outside fractal areas. The more festive parts of the image are its inside parts rendered with the inside=fmod option. Sometimes this under-used option works surprisingly well.
I named the festive image "Season's Greetings", a generic name that will offend no one. But the calculation time of 12-1/2 minutes may be offensive to the more impatient fractalists or those with DOS-deprived computers. For these few, the gift of the season is the FOTD web site at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
where the completed image is posted for quick and easy viewing.
The day was quite busy here at Fractal Central, with visitors and presents to tend to. The weather outside was delightful -- sunny skies and a temperature of 48F 9C. The fractal cats kept the festive spirit alive when they both climbed into the tree at the same time and tipped it over. Luckily, no damage was done to tree or cats, and the day ended peacefully. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, give or take a few. Until then, take care, and say good-bye to Santa Fractal for another year.
