At least that's the way the local media is presenting ; the coming period of unpleasant winter weather. ; ; Today's silvery image lies in the fractal that results when 0.39 ; parts of Z^5 are subtracted from 1.3 parts of Z^3. The 'tdis' ; outside coloring option created most of the sinuous silvery ; effect. ; ; The name "Silver Journey" was the first thing that came into my ; mind while I was contemplating the image. I will not concern ; myself with the question of where the name was located before I ; thought of it. ; ; When rating the image I was undecided between a 6 or a 7, and to ; do myself a favor, finally decided on a 7. The waiting time of ; 5 minutes to run the parameter file can be eliminated by down- ; loading the completed image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; Wednesday here at Fractal Central was mostly sunny but quite ; cold and blustery, with a temperature that barely reached ; freezing, and a wind that let no one forget the arrival of ; winter. The once-dynamic cats tested the outdoors only a few ; minutes before deciding that such conditions are best ; appreciated from their window shelves inside the house. In the ; evening we gave them a treat of tuna to ease their frustrations. ; Today is starting cloudy and just as cold, though the wind is ; gone. Snow and sleet are due later today. We'll see how the ; dynamic cats adjust. ; ; I'm going to adjust by finishing the small amount of work now on ; the shelf and getting any chores done before the predicted bad ; weather appears. If I finish early enough, I'll check the ; latest issue of "Skeptical Inquirer", which has sat unread on my ; shelf for several weeks. When tomorrow arrives, the next FOTD ; will appear regardless of the weather. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Silver_Journey { ; time=0:05:20.98--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=mandelbrotmix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.36324468569947000/+0.001674684322820\ 00/2.470857e+008/1/115.00000007684983/1.2494980819\ 9409373e-006 params=1.3/3/-0.39/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=700 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000N3SL6VJ8XIAZGC`FEbDGdBJgALi8Nk7Pm5Ro4Tq7\ DW92AF6ILDPRLWXScb_jhfqmmxdbwWSwNHvE6v52v42m32e22X\ 14P06H5BL9GODKSHPVMUYSYaXbeagifknkprptvlothjscer_`\ qYXqXTqWPqVLrVHrUErUArU6sU2sU2sU2sW2tX7tYDuZJu_OuX\ ViV`YSgMQmAPpGOqMNsRMuXLwaKxgKzlLzkMOiNMgOKePIdQGb\ RE`RD_RJYROXRUVRZURcTRiRRnQRsPJiLC_I5RFBPJGONMNRRL\ VXKZaJbfIeeLgdOhcRibUjaXka_l`bn_eoZhpYkqXnrXpsVmqU\ jpTgnSemRblP_jOYiNVhbg8`h9YiBWjCUkDRlFPmGNnHKoJIpK\ GqLJoNLmONkQPiRSgTUeUWcWYbX_XU`SSaMQbHOcBMd6KbAJaE\ J`HJZLJYPJXSJVWJU_JTbJUaKU`LU`LU_MU_MVZNVYOVYOVXPV\ XPWWQWVRWVRWUSWUSXWYXYcX_hXanXcsZ`t_Yt`VtaStbPtcMt\ eJufGugDuhAui7uj5ukGokQjk`dkj_ktVjtTjtRitQitOitNht\ LhtKgtIgtHgtFftEftCetBet9et8cpAblCaiE`eF_bHZZJYWKX\ SMWOOVLQUHRTETSAVR7WQEYPKZPQ_OW`NaaNgbOceO`hOYkOVn\ OSqOPtPTrQWqRZpSboTenUhmVllWokXrjXuiSuhOufKXdGUbCS\ `8Q_ANZCKYEHXGEWIBVK8UM5T } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ;
