; FOTD -- December 16, 2002 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I have long suspected that the < fmod > fill has more potential 
; than a hasty trial would indicate.  Yesterday, I found that this 
; is indeed true.  I named today's image "The FMOD Fill Wins", 
; because I feel that it reveals the full potential of the 
; < fmod > inside fill, which I expect to be using more of in the 
; future.
; 
; With no inside fill, the parent fractal of today's image would 
; be a circle with a totally blank and empty interior, and today's 
; image itself, which consists entirely of trapped inside points, 
; would show nothing more than a flat black screen.
; 
; Another big contributor to the unusual effects seen in today's 
; image is the < cosxx > function, which is actually an old 
; mistake retained for compatibility.  The final contributor is my 
; Mystic2 formula.  I wrote this formula a number of years ago for 
; some reason which I have long ago forgotten.  It draws nothing 
; but empty circles unless a non-flat inside fill is applied.
; 
; Because it is different, I have rated today's image at a 7.  If 
; I had found more time to color it, I might have found a palette 
; that raised the image to an 8.  The 11-minute render time is a 
; bit slow, but a download of the completed image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; can shorten the wait.
; 
; Sunday turned out to be the warmest day of the month, with a 
; temperature of 50F 10C.  This was just what the dynamic fractal 
; duo needed to give them the pleasant day outdoors that restored 
; their kittenish good humors.
; 
; But today is much colder, so I wonder how long those good humors 
; will last.  My humor is not too bad, but will improve still more 
; when the work is finished.  Until next FOTD, take care, and be 
; mod.
