(One of them even knows my full ; name.) I will soon be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams, then it ; will be goodbye working world, hello world of fun and leisure. ; ; These letters have ceased being a source of annoyance, and have ; become a source of amusement. Could anyone possibly be dumb ; enough to fall for such obvious scams? I guess so. The scams ; are showing no signs of going away. ; ; Fractals are not going away either, and there are far more ; fractals than there ever could be scams. Today's image is an ; evaporated scene in the fractal that results when various ; negative portions of Z^(-1.4) and Z^(-6) are combined, then ; (1/C) is added. ; ; The parent fractal is an intricate but indescribable thing with ; numerous bays, buds and valleys. Today's scene is located in ; one of the less obvious valleys. ; ; For some unknown reason I named the image "Full Fathom", which I ; think is a nautical term used by submariners. If not, I stand ; (or rather sit) corrected. ; ; Today's image is only a minimum improvement over yesterday's, so ; I have rated it at a 5. Overall, the image is too chaotic. It ; has no definite theme to give it unity. The colors seem too ; arbitrary, with too much of an overall blue cast. Perhaps the ; FOTD for tomorrow will be better. ; ; The great fractal images just don't seem to be appearing as they ; should. Maybe I need a short break to recharge whatever it is ; that leads me to the better images. But we'll give it a few ; more days before deciding whether to take a vacation. ; ; With its 16-minute render time, today's image is slow. A big ; speed-up is available on the internet however, on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; where the completed image is posted ready for viewing. ; ; A high temperature of 90F 32C here at Fractal Central on Wed- ; nesday was made more bearable by lower humidity. At least the ; fractal cats thought so, as they spent over two hours lounging ; in the shade of the holly patch. For me it was an unusually ; busy day. Today is starting about the same. I expect similar ; results from the cats. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and be free within limits. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Full_Fathom { ; time=0:16:05.21--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.16850795164297710/-1.901507382648044\ 00/898526.7/1/-115/-2.26629748995010871e-009 params=-1/-1.4/-0.4/-6/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000m_Tk_Uj`VhaWfaXdbYbbY`cZZc_Xd`WeaUebSfcQ\ fdOgeMgfKhgJhgIklImpHotxIPxHOxGNxELxDKxCJxAIx9Hx8G\ rNUjagkxxcouWeoOViFNiHLdIJ_JHWLFRMDNNBIOAEQEHSHKTK\ MVNPWQSYUUZXX`__abaceddigfligolirohwrTntktpmspnrop\ qoqpnsontmmvlmwklxjlxikxhkxgjxfjxcgx`duYarVZoTWlQT\ iNQfKNfKLdIKcHJbGIaFI_EHZDGYBFXAFV9EU8DT7CT37S6CS9\ GECL5EPGHMKKYLKTRJfQSkQUoQXtQXxQaxP_xP_vOZsOYqOXnN\ WkNWiMVfMUcMTaLScLRWKUbLRUMXeNZcObhPfmQerRnwRgxQkv\ QeqQ_lQVgQPbQJYQDTQ8ORBNSENTHMUKMUNMVQLWTLXWKYZKY`\ K_`I``Ha_Fc_Dd_Cf_Ag_8h_7gYAfXDeVFeUIdSKcRNcQPbOSa\ NV`LX`K__IaZHdZGf`JhbLidNjfPlhRmjTnlVpnXqoZrq`tsbu\ udvwfxxhxxjxxlxxnxxpxxnxxmxxlwxkuxjsxiqvgnufltejrd\ hqcfpbdnceldfjeghehgfiegjcgkahl_imZjnXjoVkpTlqSlrV\ loXlm_lkbliekfhkdjkbmk_pkYskWukUtlWtlXtlYtl_tl`FbF\ FaGF`IF_JFZKFYMFXNFWOFVQFURFTTFSUFRVFQXFPYFOZFN`FM\ aFMbbRVxWNwXOuYPsYQqZRoZS } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
