FOTD -- June 14, 2004 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things are still quite busy here at Fractal Central, but not so busy that I lack time for the FOTD. I see thoughts of a Fractint CD circulating on the list. And I see ideas about what might be included on the disk. I am fully in favor of such a disk. If one were realized, I would certainly want a copy. But I fear that if such a project were begun, even with the best intent, the project would go the way of the FOTD CD, which has been on the drawing board for at least three years, but which I have yet to finish. All I can say is 'the best of luck with the project'. I hope my outlook for the likelihood of a successful completion of the Fractint CD is wrong. Today's fractal image lies in some scattered debris near the shoreline of the main bay of its parent. It is another of my 'evaporated' fractals, with the blank screen brought to life with the 'bof61' inside fill. I named the image "Disconnected Diversion". The name has a rather pleasant sound, with a hint of the unusual. I have rated the image at a 6, mostly because of the unusually strong color effect. The overall value comes in at a respectable 122. The most convenient way to see the image is to download it from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> It rained all day Friday here at Fractal Central. Saturday was sunny; Sunday was cloudy. The fractal cat duo did not know what to make of these confusing conditions, and simply tried to enjoy things the way they were. A bit of tuna was needed on Friday however to bring their moods up to average. Today could best be described as unsettled. It might turn sunny; it might rain. Who knows what the duo will make of it. For me, the work is temporarily caught up, but with a big new customer to satisfy, this could quickly change. Until next time, take care, and keep searching the sky for fractals.
