FOTD -- February 04, 2002 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's simple image is named "A Fractal Hiatus". I gave it this name because it is the last FOTD that I will be able to post until I finish the job of organizing and producing that long-talked-about FOTD CD. There is simply too much work involved to efficiently handle both the ongoing FOTD and the FOTD CD. I have no idea how long it will take to finish the CD, but if no new problems come up, I should have it finished in a few weeks. When the CD is ready, I will resume the ongoing daily FOTD. In the meantime, I will continue reading the lists and will post an occasional comment on the progress of the CD, or whatever comes to mind. But right now, I've got a pile of serious work in front of me, so I'd best get started. The parameter file of today's image runs in 7 minutes on my P200 machine. And the GIF file is available on Scott's web site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Paul's whereabouts remains a mystery. With a temperature of 43F 6C, the Sunday weather here at Fractal Central was normal winter fare, which, despite the sun, did not please the cats. Until next FOTD, take care, and see you soon.
