That's the first thing I thought of ; when I saw it. I rated it at a 5, which is all I could do for ; an image that was found almost automatically. The render time ; of 41 minutes results in an overall value of 12. ; ; The most efficient way of seeing the scene is to give Paul a ; chance to render and post it, and then download it from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The events of the past few days, the details of which I will not ; go into at this time, have caused me to make a decision -- to ; move Fractal Central from its present location at the northeast ; corner of Baltimore, MD to some yet-to-be-determined location in ; Pennsylvania, far from spreading big-city problems. It is ; difficult and unfortunate to have to leave the city I have lived ; in for the better part of my life, but I have already postponed ; the inevitable far too long. I will follow my many acquaintan- ; ces who have departed over the past few years, and leave the ; fate of the city to the fools who are running it. The FOTD will ; continue; the business will lose some old customers and gain ; some new ones. ; ; A cool rainy day on Sunday, with a temperature of 68F 20C, kept ; the two fractal cats indoors. Partly cloudy skies and a temper- ; ature of 82F 28C on Monday gave them an enjoyable afternoon in ; the yard. Lots of sun and 88F 31C made Tuesday a bit too warm ; for outdoor romping, but the duo still enjoyed the shade. The ; happy cats gave me a chance to tighten the work gap, but much ; yet remains to be done. In 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours I will return ; with the next quickie FOTD. Until that golden moment arrives, ; take care, and be alert for fractals wandering aimlessly along ; the roads. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Spur { ; time=0:41:10.05--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.3815\ 2846760399876652/0.017214269028907053722/1.308\ 728e+016 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=623 periodicity=10 colors=000NlXOkXOkXOjXOiXPhYPhYPgYPfYQeYQeYQdYQcYR\ bZRaZRaZR`ZS_ZSZZSZZSYZTX_TW_TW_TV_UU_UT_US_US_VR`\ VQ`VP`VP`WO`WN`WM`UK_VK`WK`XKaXKaYKbZLbZMc_Nc`Od`P\ daQebRecSfcTfdUgeVgeWhfXhgYigZih_ji`jiakjbkkclldll\ emmfmngnnhnoiopjopkpqlprmqsnqsortpruqsursvstwttwvu\ xwuxvvytvwrsuppsnnrlkpjhngfmdcka`i_ZgXWfUTdRRbPOaM\ L_JJ`GGaAB_CCZDDXEEWFFVGGTIHSJIRKJPLKOMLNOMLPNKQOJ\ RPHSQGURFVSDWTCXUBYV9_W8`X7aY5bZ4c_0eZ3d`5ca8cbAbc\ CadFaeH`gJ_hM_iOZjRZkTYlVXnYXo_WpaVqdVrfUsjQuiSthU\ tgUtgUsfUseUsdUrdUrcUrbUqaUqaUq`Up_UpZUpZUoYUoXUoQ\ UvVUwWUsXVoYWkYXgZYc_Z___W``SaaObbKbcGcdCde8df4cg6\ bi7aj9akA`lC_mD_nFZoGYpHXqJXrKWsMVtNVuPUvQZwS_xT`y\ UazWbzXczZdz_ezafzbgzdhzeizfjzhkzilzkmzloznqzoszou\ zpwzpxzpzzpzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzszzszzs\ zzszztzztzztzztzztzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzvzzvzzvzzvzzwzz\ wzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzw } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
