; FOTD -- July 16, 2003 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; hi ya remember me mpdkwsjfzxks . . . Could a FOTD possibly be 
; spam?  No, but I just set a new record of over 100 spams in one 
; download.  One of these days I'll change my e-mail address, but 
; not quite yet.  (We'll let it reach 150.)
; 
; Today's image is one of the more unusual ones in my vast 
; collection of fractal images.  Yet it has been created with 
; nothing more exotic than the classic equal-iteration-bands 
; method of rendering and coloring.  I named the picture 
; "Mandeloid Spectacle" on a whim, and rated it at an 8.  The 
; rating seems justified for such an unusual image, filled as it 
; is with luminous bits and pieces, which are actually basins 
; containing smaller midgets.
; 
; The generating formula subtracts 1.1 parts of Z^1.1 from 1.1 
; parts of Z^(-0.9), then adds (1/C).  The parent fractal created 
; by this formula consists of a well-defined Mandeloid, with a 
; fragment of a second Mandeloid to the west and south.  Today's 
; scene is located in the rudimentary East Valley of the Mandeloid 
; fragment.
; 
; The 15-minute render time is in the range where it starts to get 
; boresome.  But 13 of those 15 minutes can be saved if the 
; completed image is downloaded from one of 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>
; 
; Both the fractal weather and the fractal cats were near perfect 
; Tuesday here at Fractal Central.  The weather featured blue 
; skies, cotton-puff clouds, and a temperature of 84F 29C; the 
; cats featured perfect behavior and a restful day in the yard and 
; on the porch.  Today is forecast to be warmer with a chance of 
; rain.  The cats' future behavior is totally unpredictable.
; 
; My future behavior, at least for the rest of the morning, will 
; feature an intensive effort to clear away the few remnants of 
; the work backlog.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 or so hours.  
; Until then, take care, and fractal images often speak louder 
; than fractal words.
