FOTD -- October 24, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a lack of time, today's FOTD is dated October 24 and the discussion is brief. No FOTD exists for October 23, which is no loss, since there never was one. Today's unusually colorful and festive image speaks for itself, so no words are necessary. In my opinion, the rating of an 8 is honest. The name "Forever Onward" refers to the endless nature of the fractal depths. The calculation time of X-1/X minutes may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> BTW, plans are being discussed for a FOTD fractal and business web site, though things are going slowly so far. Stay tuned. With ample sunshine and a temperature of 73F 23C, Thursday was a day to be remembered here at Fractal Central. When the sun went behind the trees, the fractal cats remembered that the time for their treats had arrived. Friday brought more clouds, more wind but a continued mild temperature of 66F 19C. Both days were quite busy for me, but unless more work intervenes, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and Halloween is near! Many sensible people know that ghosts are not real, yet despite being told that ghosts are merely images created in the brain and projected outward, why do the rest of the sensible people still claim to have seen a real objective ghost?
