; FOTD -- January 08, 2004 (Rating 4)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; For today, I promised a better fractal from the same formula 
; that created yesterday's image.  Well, a fractal that rates a 4 
; is better than one that rates a 2, but I had hoped for something 
; a little more better.  Maybe the parent fractal really is nearly 
; worthless, or maybe I simply failed to search far enough.
; 
; For today's rendering, the outside has been set to 'fmod', with 
; a proximity value of 2.  This is somewhat of a program feature, 
; rather than a pure illustration of what exists in the formula 
; graph at that location.  The fact that I needed to resort to it 
; is a sign that the basic fractal is not all that impressive.
; 
; I named today's image "A Little Bit More" because it is a little 
; bit better than yesterday's.  Another good feature is the render 
; time, which is only 5 minutes -- marginally worth the effort.
; 
; Hopefully, tomorrow will bring a better image.  I should hope 
; for an image that rates at least a 6, my run-of-the-mill rating.
; 
; The completed GIF image of today's fractal may be downloaded 
; from Paul's web site at:

; 
; The cold kept the cats indoors here at Fractal Central on 
; Wednesday.  Not appreciating the outdoor temperature in the mid 
; 20'sF, (around -4C), the cats barely thought of going out.  They 
; passed the day instead by catching up on their sleep.  Today is 
; starting about the same.  I expect the duo will have a similar 
; day.
; 
; My day includes work, which I had best get started on.  Until 
; next FOTD, take care, and have you tried the fractal weight-loss 
; program?
