; FOTD -- March 29, 2004 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; To produce today's fractal, I mixed together portions of Z^4 and 
; Z^5 before adding C, and cooked them slowly over a low flame.  
; The resulting dish took almost 1-1/2 hours to finish, but it was 
; worth the wait.
; 
; I named the finished product "The Infinite Mosaic".  With its 
; unusually intense colors, the image does have a kind of mosaic 
; feel about it.  And most fractals certainly are infinite.  So 
; the name seems justified.
; 
; The render time is a puzzle.  It is hard to say why an image 
; with such routine parameters should take so long to calculate.  
; >From its appearance, I would expect it to finish in something 
; like 10 minutes.  I can blame no one who decides to save an hour 
; or so by downloading the completed image from Paul's FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; I sent the image file to Paul separately, so it should be posted 
; by the time you read this letter.
; 
; The extraordinarily brilliant colors raise the rating from a 6 
; to a 7.  But the unusually slow render time lowers the overall 
; value to a humble 8.2.  It's still an interesting image however, 
; with its tight mosaic-like spirals and tiny midget hiding almost 
; invisibly at the center.
; 
; The clouds moved in on Sunday here at F.C., then they moved out, 
; leaving warm sunshine and a temperature of 63F 17C, which was 
; enough to keep the fractal cats happy.  The weather experts' 
; forecast for today is again cloudy, but I see lots of sun and 
; blue sky out there.  I expect the cats will find this acceptable.
; 
; For me, the work is in the modicum range, which I should finish 
; in plenty time to find the next FOTD fractal.  Until tomorrow, 
; take care, and become one with the fractal universe.
