; FOTD -- June 08, 2003 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; With today's image, we sink all the way down to an exponent of 
; Z^(1.015) and the hard-to-find chaos that lies in the resulting 
; fractals.  We examine this lowly fractal at a point 275 levels 
; down the logarithmic spiral, though from the degree of disorder 
; in the image, I assume the spiral has long since ceased to 
; resemble the spiral shape we are familiar with.
; 
; Not only is the image filled with discontinuities, but the 
; discontinuities are discontinuous.  The whole thing vaguely 
; reminds me of an undersea scene, and I named it "Undersea 
; Fantasy" accordingly.  It's a spectacularly colored image, with 
; colors perhaps a bit too gaudy, so I held the rating to a 7.  
; 
; As I warned earlier, the chaos in these very low fractals is of 
; a very high maxiter and quite hard to bring out.  The render 
; time of 1 hour and 5 minutes for today's image demonstrates this 
; fact.  This slowness will grow only worse as we continue our 
; descent toward our ultimate but perhaps unreachable goal of 
; Z^(1.009).
; 
; Luckily for fractalists with other things to do, the finished 
; image of today's fractal will soon be available on the FOTD web 
; sites at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; With the temperature hovering around 66F 19C, heavy rain fell 
; all day here at Fractal Central on Saturday.  It came to an end 
; shortly before sunset, but by that time the cats' day had been 
; totally spoiled.  Their moods were sour, and the tuna treat only 
; partially restored their spirits.  Today is starting cloudy, but 
; at least it is dry.  If all goes well, and the forecasted 
; showers hold off, the dynamic duo will have a better day.
; 
; The fractal basement took on water in the rain, so my task for 
; today will be to dry things out down there.  Until next FOTD, 
; take care, and how low can you go?  Stay tuned to see.
