Classic FOTD -- November 22, 2000   (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I've got little to say again today.   The reason is that I'm kind of depressed and disillusioned by the national events.   I get these spells every now and then, but this is an unusually deep one.   Regardless, I did work up the enthusiasm to find a fractal image today.   I found it in the fractal that is created by the formula Z^(-1.123)-Z^1.123+(1/C), which I chose purely on a whim.

I named the picture "Another Starfish".   I gave it this name because I believe I have already named an FOTD "Starfish".   When I saw the finished product, I rated it a 6, which is a bit above average.

The draw time of the parameter file is a slow 13 minutes, making a download of the image file far more time efficient.   The download can be found at:
alt.binaries.pictures.fractals
and in a couple hours at:

The fractal weather today was windy and cold, with a temperature of 38F (3C) that was far too chilly for the fractal cats.   They responded by spending the day by the radiators of their choice.

When I'm in this kind of a down mood, I can't philosophize, so we have no philosophy today, (not that it's missed).   But all things eventually come to an end, and eventually I'll find the inspiration to spread my philosophy once again.

That's it for today.   Until tomorrow, take care, and be patient.
