FOTD -- August 08, 2009 (Rating Green)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Alert! There is a minor crisis here at FC. When I turned on my fractal-dedicated Dell P4-2000mhz unit this morning, it beeped 1...3...2 and did nothing more. The 1...3...2 is obviously some kind of code indicating what the problem might be, but I have been unable to find what the code means.
"Don't trust Dell hardware"? ;-)
Meanwhile, the FOTD is once again being created on my 14-year-old P200mhz unit, which for all its years still works perfectly. So as not to create confusion, I have edited the calculation time to what it would have been on the P4-2000mhz machine.
The computer problem is why this FOTD is late.
As for today's FOTD image, it is 100-percent natural, with abso- lutely no artificial stuff. It is also organic. In addition, for every person who views the image, a stalk of corn will be planted, which will help feed a starving child somewhere. But view the image NOW. Don't let this opportunity to reverse the environmental decline slip by. The ice caps are melting, the polar bears are dying, the coastal cities are flooding, children are starving everywhere. Only you can save the earth.
But wait! If you view the image in the next 10 minutes, two stalks of corn will be planted, and will save the earth in half the time.
I guess the longer calculation time gave you more time for writing up the hilarious blurb, too. :-) -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
