But, as I have often said, there is no need for ; concern. I, for one, am not losing enthusiasm for fractals. I ; am simply in the tedious process of getting the FOTD-CD up to a ; level where it is worth spending 20 dollars for. This process ; is being complicated by a seasonal crush of other work, which ; must be given priority. ; ; Also, I must leave town for an appointment early next week, and ; I have decided to use the appointment as an excuse for a 3-day ; vacation. I realize that this will slow things down, but I have ; had no time off since September of 2000. ; ; This being covered, it is time to get to the day's image. It ; is a picture of a midget lying near a larger midget deep in a ; filament on the second bud out the main negative stem of the ; Mandelbrot set. Since the chances of this particular midget ; ever having been previously seen are in effect zero, I have ; named the picture "Unseen Mandelbrot". ; ; The magnitude lies in the upper range of arbitrary precision ; math, which results in an image that takes just over 1/2 hour to ; render on my machine. There is not much to be said about the ; image other than it is a typical deep midget on a filament. Due ; to its average nature, I gave the image an average rating of 5. ; ; The image may be seen by starting the attached parameter file ; and waiting 1/2 hour, but the better way of viewing it is to ; download the finished image file from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The week just ended was quite cold, damp and rainy here at ; Fractal Central. The fractal duo spent the week sitting by the ; window, wishing conditions were more pleasant. Much tuna and ; some turkey was needed to keep their moods liveable. Today ; (Saturday) is starting more pleasantly, with sun and warmer ; temperatures. I foresee better moods in the near future. ; ; As for myself, I'm going to take a well-earned 3-day vacation at ; the ocean Monday to Wednesday before getting back to work and ; doing the things that need to be done, such as the CD. The next ; FOTD will appear on March 29. Until then, take care, and keep ; fractals alive. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Unseen_Mandelbrot { ; time=0:37:32.66--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.77856519664430671896/0.0021083398799\ 35524981/2.360665e+016/1/-57.5033632547348361/0.00\ 244756560975039478 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2200 bailout=625 inside=0 logmap=432 periodicity=10 colors=0000U_0V_0W_0X_0Y_0Z_0__3`_6a`9baBcbEdcHedJ\ fdMhePifSjgUkhXli_mjanjdpkgqljrmlsnotoruptvpsuosto\ rtnrsnqsmqrmpqmpqloplopkooknnknnjmmjmmillilkikkhkj\ hjjgjigjigieehbcg_agX_fUYeRXdOVdLTcIRbFPbCOdEQeGSf\ IUgKWhLXiNZjP`kRblTdmUeoWgpYiq_kramsbntdpufrvhtwjv\ xkwwivvhvvgvufvudvtcvsbusaur_urZuqYuqXupVtoUtoTtnS\ tnQtmPtlOslNskLskKsjJsjIshJrfJqdJpbJo`JnZJnXJmVJlT\ JkRJjPJjNKiLKhJKgHKfFKeDKeBKd9Kc7Kb5Ka4Ka6N_8PYPK6\ 9RWBUVDWTEYRG_PIbOJdMLfKMhIOkHQmFRoDTqBVtAWv8Yx6eJ\ IdNHcQGcUFbXEb_DacCafB`jA`m9_p8_t7Zw6jzAhz9gz9fz8e\ z8dz7bz7az6`z6_z5onNmoLlpKkqJjqIirHhsGgtFftEeuCdvB\ cwAbw9ax8`t7_p6gftecicj_aqP_xFNpVOqTPqSPrRQrQQsPRs\ NRtMStLSuKTuJTuIUvGVvFVwEWwDWxCXxAXy9Yy8Yz7Zz67z09\ z1Bz1Dz1Ez2Gz2Iz2Kz3Lz3Nz3Pz4Rz4Sz4Uz5Wz5Yz5RzDSzC\ TzBUzAVz9Wz8Xz7Yz6Zz5szShzG2zIBzEJzBRz89zLCzJEzIHz\ GJzFLzDOzCCzkBzjAzi9zg8zf } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
