FOTD 23-10-03 (Mandelbrot Glory [6]) Here's a golden not-so oldie from 2-1/2 years ago, around the time I was moving the F.C. workshop from its old to its present location. The move actually caused less of a backup than the one that developed over the past few months and was exacerbated by the 5-day power failure about a month ago. Luckily, the backlog is now down to just under 2 days, and if the present trend continues, will be eliminated by the end of the month. The odds still look good for the ongoing FOTD to resume on November 1st. ========================================================= FOTD 17-03-01 (Mandelbrot Glory [6]) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's Saint Patrick's day and all is in confusion. I'm at the stage where the new Fractal Central is operating, but I have no idea where anything is. Nevertheless, I found an average fractal, which appears almost by magic if the parameter file is run. I named the image "Mandelbrot Glory" and rated it a 6. Searching for things such as certain computer disks in dozens of packed cartons leaves little time for discussing fractals, so I'll end my short discussion here. The GIF image will be available at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/> The fractal weather today was cloudy with rain in the afternoon and a temperature of 48F (9C). Having been marooned indoors for two consecutive days, the fractal cats were testy most of the day. I'll return on schedule in 24 hours with another FOTD. Until then, take care, and watch the time fly.
