FOTD -- February 20, 2010 (4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: NEW FORMULA ALERT! Today's formula is new. Actually, this new 'SliceJulibrot5' formula is almost exactly the same as the old "SliceJulibrot4' formula. Only the sign of iter- ated 'Z' is changed. The new formula has potential, but due to lack of time, I was unable to do much experimenting with it. I did find a minor scene in a near-Julia-set of the East Valley area of a minibrot on one of the main stems of the (-Z)^(2.5)+C Mandeloid. Unfortunately, I had no time to do much with the image, which I post here for some mild interest and amusement. Searching the image, I could find nothing in it worth more than a rating of a miserable 4. To add to the insult, the calcula- tion time of over 8 minutes is more than the image is worth. The name "Sesquioxidizing" has something to do with chemistry and little to do with today's image. I chose it because it is the word that scored the most points in Scrabble history for a single word -- around 1050 points. Those who enjoy less-than-mediocre fractals may view today's failure by running the included parameter file or by surfing out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A few clouds Friday morning here at Fractal Central cleared out by noon, leading to a pleasant afternoon with lots of sun and a temperature of 43F 6C. The fractal cats thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon sun on their shelf in the southwest window. As stated above, my day was rather hectic. The next FOTD will be posted in all of 24 hours, that is unless FL gets the urge to visit and explore a local flea market or antique emporium or something. Until whenever, take care, and why do women who claim to dislike all the violence in the world, read so many murder mysteries?
