FOTD -- January 07, 2006 (NO RATING) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal has neither name nor rating. It deserves none. I spent all of 5 minutes finding and coloring it, and the rest of my limited time writing the philosophical part of the philo- fractal version of today's discussion. The terraced effect of today's image is pretty much like that of yesterday's, the main difference being the new coloring. The parent fractal is another grossly bloated thing that needs several outzooms to fit onto the screen. It was created by subtracting some Z^(2.25) from some Z^(-2.25) and adding (1/C). With a render time of under one minute even on my tired old wreck of a computer, the image will not deprive anyone of their valuable time. And as always, the finished scene is available for download on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Little sun, chilly winds and a temperature of 37F 3C kept the cat duo safely indoors here at Old Fractal Central on Friday. Luckily, the extra tuna kept them content with their misfortune. In my department, the work was wrapped up with a bit of time to spare. The next FOTD will be delayed two days until January 10, because we will be out of town over the weekend, checking a promising New Fractal Central. Until then, take care, and be patient, but don't become a patient.
