; FOTD -- July 19, 2003 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image, which is found in the fractal created when 2 
; negative parts of Z^(0.75) are combined with 2 negative parts of 
; Z^(-0.75), appears a bit rusty to me.  I named it "A Rusted 
; Minibrot" because of the eight rust-colored lobes surrounding 
; the central midget.
; 
; The parent fractal is a three-bayed thing with X-axis symmetry.  
; Like most fractals whose formulae contain negative powers of Z, 
; today's image is very sensitive to changes in the bailout 
; radius.  As the bailout is raised, the scene soon 'evaporates', 
; leaving a blank black screen consisting of 'inside' areas.  
; Several of the inside fills create an image on this blank 
; screen, but none equals the level of today's image, which was 
; rendered and colored in the old-fashioned 'normal' way.
; 
; If I had given the coloring a bit more effort, today's image 
; might have rated a 7.  As it is, a 6 is the best rating I could 
; give.  The image is worth a look, though it's nothing that 
; hasn't been seen before.
; 
; The 8-minute render time is a bit slow, but the wait can be 
; avoided by downloading the finished image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; Light rain that began early in the afternoon spoiled the fractal 
; cats' day and left them in bad moods.  They sat on the porch for 
; an hour or so, watching the rain and wishing the grass were dry. 
; Then they came indoors to demand their consolation treats.  Tuna 
; did the trick.
; 
; Today is starting cloudy and cooler, but dry.  If things go as 
; they should, the duo will have a much better day.  For me it 
; will be a pleasant enough day -- if I can avoid any serious work 
; that is.  Until next FOTD, take care, and see you in 24 hours.
