; FOTD -- December 29, 2003 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Greetings once again from Fractal Central, the half-fantasy, 
; half-real home of the world's most over-and-under rated 
; fractals, and the totally-real home of the world's laziest, 
; craziest cats.
; 
; Today's fractal offering rates a very good 7, a rating that 
; seems honest, at least at the moment.  In a day or two it may 
; seem far too high or low, but I will not know until the time 
; comes and the rating has been fixed in stone.
; 
; The name fractoid is a combination of the words fractal and 
; android, though I can see nothing human-like in the image with 
; its lilac swirls and beige background.
; 
; The stripes in the background were created by rendering the 
; scene with the outside set to 'tdis', an option that colors the 
; points according to the distance they peregrinate (I like the 
; word) before passing beyond the escape radius.
; 
; The parent fractal is a distorted version of the Mandelbrot set, 
; with the buds of the main bay rotated far around the shoreline 
; in a CCW direction.  Today's scene is located in a spiralling 
; elephant trunk on the south shore of East Valley.
; 
; The image takes 17 minutes to render from the included parameter 
; file.  That time can be cut drastically by downloading the 
; completed image from Paul's FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The past several days were acceptable here at F.C., with no 
; extremes of weather, no extremes of cat behavior and no further 
; word from Ken.  Today is starting as though it will turn into 
; yet another perfect day.  But such perfection cannot last long 
; before something goes wrong, so until next time, take care, and 
; don't bet your bippy.  You might lose it, and bippies are hard 
; to replace.
