I think a truck ran into a telephone ; pole somewhere nearby. But whatever the problem was, it has now ; been eliminated and things are back to normal. (It was actually ; rather pleasant to have part of a morning without phone ; interruptions. I got a lot of work done.) ; ; Today's image rates a 6 in bright light and an 8 in subdued ; light. It is a very somber image created by the simplest of ; formulas -- Z^33+Z^2+C. The image is so somber in fact that it ; can be fully appreciated only in semi-darkness. ; ; When studying the image in subdued light, I get a feeling of ; something from the distant past -- something mysterious from ; long ago and far away, almost forgotten, remembered only by the ; feeling it once produced. What this nearly forgotten thing is ; I have no idea, so I named the image "The Past". ; ; The render time of 4 minutes is quite reasonable for an image ; that rates somewhere between a 6 and an 8 depending on the ; light. The small amount of effort required to download the ; finished GIF image from one of the FOTD web sites can eliminate ; even this short wait. ; ; Paul's site is: ; ; ; ; Scott's is: ; ; ; ; Tuesday was another perfect day here at Fractal Central, with ; lots of sun and a temperature of 81F 27C. The fractal cats ; spent nearly 6 hours in the yard, enjoying the great weather. ; But they were not as lively as they once would have been in ; such conditions. I saw almost no zooming around the yard, ; scampering up the holly trees, or chasing birds. I did see ; lots of sitting and thinking. This is how it goes with cats ; approaching the geriatric stage of life. ; ; I am now thinking of the remaining work that must be done. But, ; unlike cats, I must do more than just think. So until 24 hours ; from now, take care, and where is the ultimate fractal? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ The_Past { ; time=0:04:26.39--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.24755150217609540/-0.055896930341567\ 15/7.643967e+008/1/55/5.69510350649504726e-007 params=1/33/1/2/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 outside=tdis symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000X9uRBzMGzGHz9Mz3Oz5Kz7Hw9Gh90AB9EE70N5TQ\ 9_TEfWMo`Sua_zYgzVozRrzOjzKozHrzEwz9zz5zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz3zz5zz9zzEzzHzxKzuOzpRzmVzfXzjTzmPzpMztHz\ wEzz9zz5zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz7zzKzzXzzfzzpzzmzzj\ zzhzzdzzazz_zzXzzTzzRzzOzzKzzHzzEzz9zz7zzBzzGzzKzz\ OzzRzzVzzYzzazzdzzhzzlzzozzrzzuzzxzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzztzzozzjzzdzz_\ zz9zzBzzEzzGzzHzzKzzMzzzzzwzzdzzzzzzzzxzzpzzjzzazz\ Tzz9zzBzzBzzEzzEzzGzzGzzHzzHzzKzzKzzMzzMdV00zYfzXd\ zVdxTduTdpRdmPdjPddOdaMdY0jz0hz0hz0hw0hu0ht0fp0fo0\ fm5fjwuKuuEtt5tt0or3lp7xGHhoBdmG_lHXjMThPPfTzK0tR0\ cYGY00T90PRGfX9cYEa_GY_KXaMTcORcROdTlEzcOtVXfmfxjd\ uhdtfdpcdoadl_djXdfVddTdaPd_OdXz0TtBVcRV0t00r00p00\ o05m57l9BjGGhMKfRzz0uYzr_zp_zm_zlazhawfatcapacmYcj\ XcfTdcRd_OdXGzjHzdKzaMpYrj3lh9dfGYfMRdRh0xf0ud3tc7\ ra9p_Eo_GmYKlXMjVOfTRdTTc } 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================================== ;
