Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The good news is that I'm within a few hours of clearing the work backlog; the bad news is that today's FOTD is an extremely slow one. Only the stout-hearted will try to run the parameter file of today's FOTD -- the thing takes almost 13 hours to render. This slowness is a result of my choosing a deep scene that requires arbitrary precision math. But there is no cause for alarm, for in my compassion I have posted the file of the GIF image to the Usenet binary group: The image is a scene of very large magnitude -- a second-order midget located quite deep in Elephant Valley of the M-set. The midget at the center is virtually invisible, which is why I named the picture "Missing Minibrot". The rating of 6 could have been a 7 had I not made the colors a bit too gaudy. The fractal weather here at Fractal Central was once again perfect today, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 74F (23C), which would have pleased the fractal cats had they gotten the chance to go outdoors to enjoy it. The work rush cut my pondering time even more than it cut the cats' outdoor time. But I'll finish the work mess this evening and have more time tomorrow to relax and ponder. And when I ponder, ponderous things sometimes happen. So check back tomorrow, when there's a good chance of finding philosophy. Until then, take care, and be as quiet as a fractal.
