Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A minor backlog of work makes today's discussion necessarily brief. Today's unrated fractal resulted when I subtracted Z^(-1.5) from Z^(1.5) and added (1/C). I rendered the scene with the outside set to 'real', which adds a bit of action to an otherwise flat image. It would hardly be fair to rate an image that I found and colored in less than 10 minutes. It would also be unfair to give a name to such an image. But it is quite fair to state that the image renders in less than 9 minutes, which, for those who are dis-satisfied with the result, will keep the wasted time within reasonable limits. But no time at all will be wasted by visiting the FOTD web site at: The search for a new fractal central went well over the weekend. If things work out, we will be moving to Sunbury, Pennsylvania by April. The city at the fork of the Susquehanna River has seen better days, but the prices are right, and since we do most of our work on the internet, we will not need to find employment there. The new F.C. is a huge rambling victorian house with more nooks and crannies than one could explore in half a lifetime -- exactly what fractal lady and I have always wanted. But, as I said, all this is if things work out. We are still waiting word that our offer has been accepted. Meanwhile, back here at the old fractal central, my sister took good care of the fractal cats while we were away. In fact, she took too good care of them. They were so full of tuna that they barely touched Monday evening's serving. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and it will soon be farewell forever to Bodymore Murderland.
