; FOTD -- July 23, 2003 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's FOTD takes us to a world very similar to the world of 
; yesterday's image.  This explains the name "Activity-2".  The 
; parent fractal is another distorted Mandel-thing with a single 
; large bay and a multitude of tiny budlets.  Today's scene is 
; located in the filament of a star connected to a high-order 
; budlet on the northeastern shore of the large bay.
; 
; The generating formula subtracts 1.2 parts of (1/Z) from Z^(1.2) 
; and adds (1/C).  Once again I rendered the image with the 
; outside set to the 'atan' option.  In fractals as in movies, the 
; sequel is rarely as good as the original, so today's image rates 
; only a 7, which is still a fine rating, but not quite up to 
; yesterday's rating of 8.
; 
; The render time I wrote for today's image is a rough average.  
; For some reason, the image never seems to render at the same 
; speed twice.  The time has been as short as 6:50 and as long as 
; 8:30.  But the exact time required for rendering is unimportant, 
; for the completed image may be 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>
; 
; A light shower fell just after noon on Tuesday here at Fractal 
; Central.  It left the grass just wet enough to spoil the fractal 
; cats' outing in the yard.  When the rain was not falling, the 
; sky was partly cloudy.  The temperature of 88F 31C felt more 
; like 98 (37) due to the high humidity.  A heavy thunder-shower 
; moved in after dark, but by then it made no difference.  The 
; cats' day had already been spoiled.
; 
; Today is forecast to be a repeat.  No problem however.  The 
; cupboard is filled with tuna.  But my work shelf is still quite 
; empty.  In the unlikely event that this empty-shelf syndrome 
; continues, it could develop into a problem that tuna cannot 
; solve.  In any case, I'll return in 24 hours with the next 
; fractal.  Until then, take care, but don't forget to have fun.
