Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal rates a somewhat below average 4. I just couldn't turn on the fractal intuition that leads me to many of the midgets that ultimately appear as the FOTD. Possibly the reason is that I'm disgusted with the bickering over on the Fractal-Art list -- the list to which I originally posted the FOTD's. Oh BTW, we have a Fractal of the Day today. I stumbled upon it while playing around with the zexpe fractal. It's a picture of a midget surrounded by concentric rings of holes -- exactly what would be expected of a midget. I named the picture "The Right Protocol", heaven knows why. I rated it a 4, and even the 4 may be too high. The parameter file takes 2-1/2 minutes to render; the GIF image downloads in half that time. The GIF image has been posted to Usenet at: The fractal weather today was foggy in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon. The fractal cats disapprove of damp weather, so they remained indoors for the entire day. A surprise treat of tuna kept them from becoming irritable. My next spate of philosophy is nearing completion, though due to my depressed mood I got little accomplished on it today. Still, I expect it to be ready for public consumption in a few days. For now it's getting late and I'm feeling the urge for a junky old movie. So I guess I'll shut down the fractal shoppe and call it a day and a night. Until tomorrow, same time same place, take care, and be wise. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
