Do you have enough of these [old, unused] formulae so that this month's theme could continue on till the end of the year (or longer)?? :-)
I have virtually an endless supply of old forgotten formulas that I have never used as a source of FOTD images. The problem is finding those that were discarded prematurely. Many of these old formulas merely duplicate things that later formulas such as MandelbrotMix4 do better. Others are steps on the way to the final formulas that explore the oblique slices of the 4-dimensional Julibrot. But the remainder are actually useful formulas that have never been given a fair chance. I don't know how many of these potentially useful formulas I have in cold storage. The only way to find them is to try them out one at a time, and see what happens. This takes time. But I suspect, that I will find enough to last to the end of this month at least. For now, it looks like the theme of old resurrected formulas will continue indefinitely. Jim M.
