; FOTD -- August 11, 2003 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I spent too much effort being lazy all day Sunday, so the 
; fractal I eventually found rates only a 5.  But after all, 
; even an average fractal is worth seeing.
; 
; Some fractals, such as the well-known Mandelbrot set, are 
; connected.  This means that every apparently disconnected midget 
; is actually connected to the main bay by an infinitely thin 
; filament.  Other fractals, such as the parent of today's image, 
; are not connected, and contain areas totally cut off from the 
; main body of the fractal.
; 
; Today's midget lies in one of these areas that is cut off from 
; the main body of the parent fractal, which appears as a slightly 
; distorted M-set.  This is why I named it "Disconnected Midget".  
; I rendered the image with the outside set to 'tdis' to emphasize 
; the disconnected nature of the scene.  The 'tdis' outside also 
; makes a better picture.
; 
; The short render time of a nice neat 0:02:02.02 is pleasant 
; enough, though not quite as much fun as downloading the already-
; completed GIF image from one of the FOTD web sites at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; Sunday was an unusually pleasant day here at Fractal Central.  
; The rain held off and the temperature reached 84F 29C, which 
; made the cats happy, and I got through the day without finding 
; work that needed to be done, which made me happy.  Hopefully, 
; today will be a repeat, but there is still a bit of work to be 
; finished first.
; 
; Until next time, take care, and stay connected.
