I warned her that the roads were ; still very bad, and if she went out, she would get stuck. She ; assured me that she could handle it. About an hour later I got ; a phone call from six blocks away. Guess what had happened . . . ; ; Two hours later, when we arrived back at F.C., I justifiably ; lost my cool, which I have relatively little of even on good ; days. The rest need not be described. ; ; The fractal of the day, which was found despite the distrac- ; tions, is named "Mandelbrot Breakoff". The name describes the ; disconnected nature of the scene. The rating of 4 is fair ; enough for such an ordinary fractal. The render time of under 3 ; minutes is also fair enough. Those who consider even 3 minutes ; unfair may download the completely rendered GIF image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather Wednesday was not too bad, with some sun and ; a temperature of 36F 2C. The dynamic cats were out of sight ; most of the day, most likely avoiding the temper tantrums. It ; would have made no difference even if they had not gone into ; hiding. Their porch is still blocked by the fallen roof and the ; ground is still buried under about a meter of soggy snow. ; ; But F.C. has a way of surviving trying times, and the next ; fractal is but 24 hours off. Until then, take care, and I just ; don't dig it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ MandelbrotBreakoff { ; time=0:02:49.28--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.3531289942622923/+0.335701792042646/\ 2178754/1/102.5/1.089800562e-008 params=0.25/1.618\ 034/-2/-1.618034/1.2/0 float=y maxiter=400 inside=0 logmap=47 periodicity=10 colors=000AkzAjyAiyAhyAgxAfwAevAduActAbsAarA`qA_p9\ ZofK8kYLqjXwrhprejmcdhaZc_TZXNUVHPTBLRO_g`mxTjuMgr\ FdoG3vLAtQHrVOp_Vndalhhkjjhllfnncpparr_ttXvvVxwTwo\ PvgMu_JtTFsLCrD9r66tC7vI8xO9yU9vXFt_KrbPpeUnhZlkco\ ZQrNDtB0hE2XH3LK49N5U12of0mKDpIBsG9uF7xD5zC3tI4oN5\ jT6eY7`c8Wh9RnAMsBNNNBBBI_TAfR3mP9kKEiFJhB_NHp1N4Q\ SL9AHELDJV9Od6SnOMceHUvCKqIUmNchSmdXvE10eqzdjmz8pz\ BtzEvzGxzNzzUzz`zzczzczzczzczzczzczz_zzTzzNzzPzzQz\ zSzzTzzRzzPzzNzzMzzDzz4zzUzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzc\ zzczzczzczzczzczzczwcztczqcznczcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzc\ mzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmz\ cmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcm\ zcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzc\ mzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmz\ cmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcm\ zcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmz } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ; ;
