; FOTD -- November 07, 2003 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image, which combines portions of Z^(-0.75) and Z^(-7), 
; is an 'evaporated' one.  The escape radius has been increased to 
; such an extreme value (one-googol) that basically all the points 
; have been trapped.  The trapped points do interesting things in 
; their trapped state however, and these things form the basis of 
; today's image.
; 
; The image consists entirely of 'bof61' inside fill, which colors 
; the trapped points according to which iteration comes closest to 
; the origin.  In today's scene, this fill is by far the best of 
; the inside fill options.  It works so well, in fact, that I 
; rated the resulting image at an 'exceptional' 8.
; 
; In its unevaporated state, the parent fractal consists of an 
; oversized Mandeloid with a twisting fractal trail extending far 
; to the northeast.  Today's scene is located just beyond a 
; crossroads on a filament extending from a sub-bud of the main 
; bud of the parent.
; 
; After a bit of consideration, I decided to name the image 
; "Midget Starburst"  I see no real reason for the name other than 
; the fact that it sounds good.
; 
; The render time of 9 minutes on my old worn-out 80586 machine is 
; within the realm of reason.  But the minute or so required to 
; download the completed GIF image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; is even more reasonable.
; 
; Weather conditions have deteriorated greatly here at Fractal 
; Central over the past two days.  Steady rain all day Thursday 
; kept the aging fractal cats confined to the indoors, where they 
; passed the day on their window shelves, waiting futilely for the 
; sun to appear.  The temperature of 63F 17C was mild enough, but 
; fractal cats do not like wet ears.
; 
; Today is starting cloudy and a bit cooler.  If it stays dry, the 
; dynamic duo might get in some quality outdoor time.  My day will 
; be good enough, especially if the work is finished by early 
; afternoon.  But to finish, I must first start.  Until next time, 
; take care, and see you soon.
