FOTD -- February 20, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since I am not yet feeling up to par, today's discussion will again be brief. The image is a scene in the fractal that results when 7 negative parts of Z^(-1.5) are combined with 1 negative part of Z^(-6.6) and (1/C) is added. I gave the image no rating, though for some reason now forgotten, I named it "Fractal Sponge". The calculation time of 2 minutes is brief enough to give no one trouble. And for even more convenience, the finished image will soon be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A typical midwinter day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, with partly cloudy skies, a few stray flakes of snow, and a temperature of 34F 1C. The fractal cats enjoyed the sunny periods, rolled over, then went to sleep. After taking it easy all day Tuesday, I hope to be back to near full prodctivity by Wednesday. (I write the FOTD discussions on the previous day.) The next FOTD will likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and search for something.
