But despite the indoor temperature of 57F 14C, the ; fractal of the day is hot. ; ; Today's fractal trip takes us rather deep into East (Elephant) ; Valley of the Mandelbrot set, where the elements are quite ; pinched off. After a brief search, we find and check a tiny ; midget surrounded by seashell-like features. ; ; I gave the image no name, but despite the minimum effort I put ; into it, the result is worth a rating of a 7, which is how I ; rated it. ; ; The render time of 3-3/4 minutes will be cut to a matter of ; seconds on the present day fireball units, assuming, that is, ; that the fireball unit in question is not over-qualified or ; vesa-deprived. ; ; In any case, the completed GIF image is posted on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; from where it may be downloaded at leisure for viewing. ; ; With the temperature inside dropping toward the temperature ; outside, the fractal cats were hard pressed to find warm ; comfort. Luckily, an emergency space heater saved the day for ; them. For me, the work room was quite chilly, but the work was ; accomplished. With the crew from the gas company still trying ; to figure things out, tomorrow is likely to be another chilly ; but productive day. Until next FOTD, which is due in 24 hours, ; take care, and keep a stiff but not frozen upper lip. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_15-02-06 { ; time=0:03:49.26--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=b center-mag=+0.2500\ 9435507823240/-0.00000148471698750/1.173282e+011/1\ /110/0.00016038707256020579 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=200000 bailout=5 inside=255 periodicity=10 colors=0000P40K20F00B0050000s0To0Qk0Og0Ld0J_0IW0FS\ 0CO09J06F05902500000OFWG9O95F205zpTyhOo`JeUFVL9KD5\ 840ze`zaXuZVpVSkSPfPL`LJWIFQDCKB8F65820000JJzFFsCC\ k99d66W44O00F0050UP0PK0KG0FCzzzxxwwuuurssoqqlooiml\ fhhaddXZ_SUUNOqaZrcXsdWueVwfVwgUyhTziSzjQzkPzlPrTU\ f5Zg6`h6ci8ej8gk8il9kl9nn9poBrpBtqBwrCysCzsCzoBw00\ Uk9sh8od6j`6gX5cU4ZP2UL0PI0LD0G80B405000kzofwi`odW\ hZQ`TKUNFLG8D9042XD0SB0N80I50C20oz0lw0grTakPXfLT`I\ OUDIOBCI6692020NfpJ`iGVcCQW9KQ5DJ28B002kfzhcwe_saX\ oZUjVQfSOaOKXKGSGDNC9I85C42600004q00QPzhNzeLwcJs_I\ oXGjUDgSCcOBZL8UJ6PF4LC2G80B5050000z4wq2lg0cW0UL0J\ 8060zz0yy0ss0ll0gg0``0VV0OO0II099zzozukupholekhagd\ Zd`V_XSWTOSQKNNGGKCBB8554000qpVfeOWVIKK98820P00B00\ z004T0oz0kz0gt5`n2Sa0IP06Bw5zp4sj2ne0g_0aU0VN0PG0I\ 90B20200W00U00S00P00O00Lz0Jz0Gz9FzNCzZ9zi6zt50z20z\ 00w00rF0nC0iB0e90a80X6000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
