; FOTD -- September 29, 2005 (Rating 4)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Things are still a bit too busy here at Fractal Central for 
; maximum FOTD efficiency, but I did manage to scrounge up an 
; image worth being christened FOTD for September 29.
; 
; To find today's image, I searched the chaos on the northern 
; shoreline of the +36 version of the square-root-of-two 
; Mandeloid, a parent fractal that rather reminds me of an old-
; fashioned string of sausages.
; 
; The image features a midget at the center.  Well, it could more 
; accurately be described as a hole surrounded by the fractal soil 
; that was dug away to create it.  There appears to be no 
; organized pattern at all surrounding the midget, only bits and 
; pieces of rather nasty-looking debris left over from its 
; creation.
; 
; But all fractals, like all stories, should have a theme.  And 
; without a theme, today's image must be rated under average.  I 
; gave it a rating of 4, the highest under-average rating I could.
; 
; Luckily, the image is a fast one, rendering in 2 minutes on my 
; old machine, and in under 1 minute on the newest units.  For the 
; convenience of those who do not render, the already-rendered 
; image is available for download on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Perfect weather here at Fractal Central on both Tuesday and 
; Wednesday kept the Fractal Cats quite happy.  Having too much 
; work kept me unhappy.  Today is starting cloudy with rain in the 
; forecast, so I doubt there will be another perfect day for the 
; cats.  For me, the work is under control, but still heavy.  The 
; next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and 
; be fractalish.
