; 
; FOTD -- February 21, 2006 (Un-Rated, Un-Named)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I'm back . . . on schedule of course, and all is well.  The 
; great and not so great fractals keep coming.  In fact I can't 
; shut them off.
; 
; Today's image was created by taking just plain Z and mixing in 
; the tiniest bit of Z^(-99) before adding C.  The parent fractal 
; resembles a bulls-eye ready to be eclipsed by a flat disk.  The 
; actual fractal image for today is located near the center of the 
; bulls-eye, and near the eclipsing disk.
; 
; As has so often been the case recently, I gave the image neither 
; name nor rating.  These are subjective things, and I gave them 
; too little effort to assign meaningful names or numbers to them. 
; But the render time is quite objective.  It is a bit over 17 
; minutes on my worn out old machine, which BTW might soon be put 
; out to pasture and replaced by a faster unit.
; 
; Seventeen minutes is more than 1/3,000,000 of a person's entire 
; lifetime, so to save the lives of fractal fans, the completed 
; image has been posted to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; from where it may quickly be downloaded, thereby saving and 
; perhaps lengthening the lives of fractal fans everywhere.
; 
; The coldest weather of the season moved into Fractal Central 
; over the weekend, keeping the fractal cats well confined.  The 
; Sunday temperature of +8F -12C was far too chilly for delicate 
; cats, and even for most hardy people.  The not-so-dynamic duo 
; spent most of their time watching the birds huddled around the 
; chimney pot of the house next door, trying to steal a bit of 
; heat.  With so much work to be done, I had no trouble keeping 
; busy.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours -- unless something 
; unexpected arises, that is.  Until then, take care, and things 
; will be better, but no one knows when.
