FOTD -- September 15, 2005 (Rating NA) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is a scene deep in a star of the Mandelbrot set. I gave it no name and no rating. The render time of 41 seconds is so fast that little time advantage is to be gained by down- loading the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> though those with Fractint-allergic machines may wish to do the download. The philosophy (if that's what it is) continues in the philofrac- tal version of today's FOTD. The weather started to deteriorate here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. The temperature of 84F 29C was fair enough, but occasional sprinkles of rain kept the grass a bit too damp for the paws of the fractal cats. Today is starting cloudy again, with showers nearby, it could be a questionable day. For me the day looks to be rather busy, but not so busy that I will lack time for the next FOTD, which will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and seek the source.
