The rating of a 5 ; indicates that I consider it an average image. The render time ; of 15 minutes borders on slowness, but to avoid delay, the pre- ; rendered GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; There are signs that my 'writer's block', or 'bad mood', or ; whatever it is that is preventing me from doing any involved ; writing, is dissipating. And the philosophical questions that ; I raised are still there, begging to be discussed. A question ; that I have been giving much thought to over the past several ; weeks is, "what are we?", or as I state it, "what stays the ; same while the material of the body and contents of the mind ; constantly change?" This is far easier stated than answered. ; I will give my opinion of possible answers on the philofractal ; list in a soon-to-come FOTD. ; ; The high temperature of 77F 25C was just what the fractal cats ; ordered on Monday here at Fractal Central. In my department, ; the work was finished early enough to enjoy a couple hours ; watching the grass grow and wondering how long I can postpone ; trimming it. Today is starting the same; it looks like another ; very good day coming. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and avoid the darkness. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Austral_Mandelbrot { ; time=0:15:18.39--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.77356363885098053/0.0066901161293471\ 44/8.018617e+013/1/17.537/3.88578058618804789e-016 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=195 periodicity=10 colors=000eAcfBcgCchDciEcjFckGclHdmIdnJdoKdpLdqMdr\ OdsPetReuTfvVgwWhxYiy_jzakzclzemzgnzimzhmzhmzhmzhm\ ZLBWJ7TH4RG1NPDKYOGfZDoiAwtEnsIesMYsQPsUGsX8sUMpSZ\ mQkkRtpDcrDesEcqEbpEaoE`nEZlFYkFXjFWiFUgFTfGSeGRdG\ PbGOaGN`GM_ENYDNXCNWBNVANU9NS8NR7NQ6NP5NO8RNAUMCXL\ E`KGcJIfIKjHMmGOpFSmDVkBYh9af7dc5ga3j_2ic4hf5gi7fm\ 8epAdsBcvCgoIjhOnaTqVZuOdxIiyLgyNeyPcyRayT_yVYyXWy\ ZUy`SybQydOyfMyhKveLtbLr_LpXLmULkRLiOLgLLeILNKZ4Ml\ ANiGOfMOcSP`YQYcQViRSnRQjOOfMNbKL_HKWFISDHPAFL8EH6\ CE4BF6EG7HH8KI9NJAQKBTLCVMDYNE`OFcPGfQHiRIkSLkTNkU\ QkVSkWUkXXkYZkZak_ck`ekahkbjkblkgkdkjYoiRshKwgDmYQ\ cOaUFmTHlSJkRLjRNiQOiPQhPSgOUfNWeMXeMZdL`cKbbKcbLd\ cMddNdeOdfPdgPegQehReiSejTekTfkUflVfmWfnXfoXfo`gpd\ hrgisdkc`mOXqUUs_QueNwaIxZDyM9zAKzZVzwZzqazkdzehz_\ kzUnzOrzIuzCxz6tz5qz5mz5jz4fz4cz4_z3Xz3Uz3Wz7XzBYz\ EZzI_zM`zPazTczXdz_bz8czC } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
