FOTD -- October 26, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Do not be concerned if the top half of today's image appears all too routine. A huge change happens at the exact center, leading to the bottom half, which is totally different. The image is divided into two halves. The top half is outside stuff, while the bottom half is inside stuff brought to life by the 'bof60' inside fill. Any more talk would be superfluous. Unless the sound is turned off, the image will speak for itself, so I recommend running the parameter file and waiting with bated breath for the big change that appears halfway through the calculation. The name "Half of Everything" makes little sense, though it does refer to the schizoid personality of the image. The rating of an 8 indicates that the image is well worth the 3-3/4 minutes spent calculating it. If, for some reason, calculation is impractical, the finished image may be viewed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> But be prepared to stare in awe and wonder. Perfect late October weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on Sunday -- not a cloud in the sky, light winds, and a tempera- ture of 61F 16C. The fractal cats spent the entire afternoon fighting for the best spot on the sunny shelf in the southwest window. My day was uneventful. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. And if all goes well, it will actually be posted around that time. Until then, take care, and isn't it a crying shame -- the entire universe out there waiting, and we're stuck on the surface of a minor planet with minds of steel trapped in bodies of kleenex.
