FOTD -- April 16, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since discovering how fast the P4-2300 machine is with the type=mandel fractals, I have become fascinated with the formerly impractical areas of the Mandelbrot set. Today's image shows a tiny atom deep in a remote valley off the bud beyond the largest bud on the negative real axis, a valley which most likely has never before been investigated. The name "In a Remote Valley" simply describes the location of the image. The 2-1/2 hour render time is true on the P200 machine. On the P4-2300 unit, the image calculates in 8-1/2 minutes. It downloads from the FOTD web site in even less time. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The perfect weather continues here at Fractal Central. The cats continue happy and the fractals, though not great, keep coming. The next fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and run with fractals.
