; FOTD -- August 02, 2004 (Rating 3)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The rush continues here at Fractal central.
; 
; Today's image shows a midget in the fractal that is created by 
; subtracting Z^(-11) from 7 parts of Z^(1.1) then adding 1/C.  
; It is basically a cut-off scene made more interesting by being 
; rendered with the outside set to 'fmod'.
; 
; The result is not all that interesting, and rates only a 3.  But 
; the very fast render time of 1 minute gives an overall value of 
; a respectful 272.  The name I gave the image -- "Mimoids" -- is 
; a word from the novel "Solaris", where the living planetary 
; ocean creates forms mimicking the images it finds in the minds 
; of the visitors from earth.
; 
; The task of downloading the completed image from the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; is about equal to the task of running the included parameter 
; file and waiting a full minute.
; 
; Warm, muggy weather on Saturday and Sunday here at Fractal 
; Central kept the dynamic cats confined to the porch.  Occasional 
; showers kept the grass wet, assuring that the duo would remain 
; close to home.  Today is starting the same, so I expect similar 
; behavior from the duo.  For me, it's the same old story -- work, 
; work, work.  Who said that being self-employed means lots of 
; free time for fun.  The next FOTD will appear as soon as I find 
; time to find a worthy fractal, most likely in two or three days. 
; Until then, take care, and be worthy of your fractals.
