File formats and bloggers sense of humour (and a fractal)
According to the blogger support forum,blogger has been known to convert gifs to pngs. Not only that at least two gifs of mine have been resized. I've checked my uploaded gifs and see some but not all have been converted. I can see no pattern to their behaviour regarding what is converted and what is resized.This is disheartening since the main reason I started my blog was to provide a source of completed fractals in gif form with Fractint readable parameter information like Jim Muth's postings. Until the bloggers of the world rise up and overthrow the file format tyrants I'll just have to put up with it and be extra meticulous when posting par and frm information to the mailing list. A possible long term solution might be photo hosting service like Flickr. I choose today's fractal because the pattern is irregular-the fusion of randomness and structure, the chaotic nature of the fractal. fract006.gif { ; Clay,earth,rust? ; A texture ; calctime 0:12:09.68 ; created Mar 30, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=julhack.frm formulaname=spiralweb2_j center-mag=+0.67526365833046050/+0.24293360171942600/865.224/1/-2.499999\ 99999908207/2.03594086034541988e-012 params=-0.6582537308877835/-0.2274544511246071/32/120 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=12 cyclerange=0/255 colors=00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000z50z60z80z90zB0zC0zE0zF0zH\ 0zI0zK0zL0zN0zO0zQ0zR0zT0zU0zW0zX0zZ0z_0za0zb0zd0ze0zg0zh0zj0zk0zm0zn0zp\ 0zq0zs0zt0zv0zw0zy0zz1zz3zz4zz6zz7zz7zy7zx7zx7zw7zv7zv7zu7yt7ys7ys7yr7yq\ 6yq6yp6yo6yo6xn6xm6xl6xl6xk6xj6xj6xi5xh5wh5wg5wf5we5we5wd5wc5wc5vb5va5va\ 5v`4v_4vZ4vZ4vY4vX4uX4uW4uV4uV4uU4uT4uS3uS3uR3tQ3tQ3tP3tO3tO3tN3tM3tL3sL\ 3sK3sJ2sJ2sI2sH2sH2sG2sF2rE2rE2rD2rC2rC2rB1rA1rA1r91q81q71q71q61q51q51q4\ 1q31p20p20o20n20m20m20l20k20j20j20i20h20g20g20f20e20d20d20c20b20a20a20`2\ 0_20Z20Z20Y20X20W20W20V20U20T20T20S20R20Q20Q20P20O20N20N20M20L20K20K20J2\ 0I20H20H20G20F20E20E20E20D20D20C20C20C20B20B20A20A20A2092092092082082072\ 0720720620620520520520420420420320320220220220120120010 } spiralweb2_j(XAXIS_NOIMAG) { ;also very unusual! ;default for p1=0.27 ;p2 is the bailout (default=2 (!)) ;also try decomp! p=p1,p=p+(|p|==0)*0.27 b=p2,b=b+(b==0)*2 z=y=pixel: z=z*z+y+p y=y/z*p*p |z|<b ;SOURCE: julhack.frm } Roger Alexander _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail & Messenger are available on your phone.

Most ISPs provide web space, methinks. They do not always tell you how to use it. If you are not up to learning _proper_ HTML, then M$ Word will do it, and hundreds of "what you see is what you get" editors probably exist. If your space is anything like mine, then you will want an entry in "My Network Places" for convenience, otherwise you will want to type something like ftp://brewhaha @ecn.ab.ca/ to get into your space (probably...access methods vary, and a protocol for HTTP upload is, although I would not recommend it). My ISP has editorial guidelines. I hav not crossed them so far. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Sound/Sucker.mp3 9s@24kbps. Currently, just the tune for: "If it sounds too good to be true, then don't be a sucker" ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Alexander To: Fractint Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 9:11 PM Subject: [Fractint] File formats and bloggers sense of humour (and a fractal) According to the blogger support forum,blogger has been known to convert gifs to pngs.
