; FOTD -- January 01, 2004 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Due to an unplanned busy night, today's discussion is not only 
; late, it is very short and to the point.
; 
; I named the fractal "Happy New Fractals" because it is the first 
; in a year-long series of hopefully superior images.  The 
; generating formula combines portions of Z^(-5.1) and Z^(-1.5), 
; and adds (1/C).  The resulting fractal consists of the usual 
; indescribable Mandeloid, with a separate area of chaos lying 
; just southwest of the main fractal unit.  Today's scene lies in 
; this separate area of chaos.
; 
; Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the image with the 
; outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod'.  The rating 
; of an above-average 7 makes the 3-minute render time worth the 
; effort.
; 
; The image can also be seen by downloading it from:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The last day of the year passed uneventfully here at Fractal 
; Central.  With lots of sun and a temperature of 54F 12C, the day 
; was pleasant enough for the cats to enjoy almost two hours in 
; the wild outdoors of the yard.  When midnight came and people 
; began setting off fireworks, they cats took shelter in their 
; closet in the spare room, where they were still sleeping when 
; the night ended.  Today is the first day of another year, and it 
; is starting the same as yesterday.  I expect the cats will be 
; acceptably happy.
; 
; I will be unable to comment on my happiness until 8784 hours 
; have passed.  So check back then to see how the year goes.  
; Luckily, the next FOTD will appear far before then.  It will 
; appear in 18 hours in fact.  Until then, take care and happy 
; recovery.
