Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is hardly worth its exalted status as FOTD for March 25. With almost no time to spare, I went to the parent fractal of a recent FOTD, named it "Bits and Pieces", and anointed it FOTD for March 25. The rush is still due to the move into the new Fractal Central Auxiliary. Now the problem is clearing and cleaning the fractal vestiges from the old Fractal Central auxiliary by the end of this week, when the lease expires. This means one more week of hasty FOTD's then a return to the rambling discussions that used to keep things lively on the Philofractal list, which is basically dead at the present time. Today's image is named "Bits and Pieces" because of the scattered fragments of Mandel-stuff that fill the scene. The parameter file renders in under four minutes, and the GIF file will soon be available on the Web at: The fractal weather today was cloudy and mild, with a temperature of 62F (16.5C), which the fractal cats deemed ideal. That's it for today. I'll return in 24 hours, plus or minus 12 hours, with another fractal. Until then, take care, and be patient. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
