; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today is the ides of March.  Since I can't find my ides, I will 
; have to make do with a fractal.
; 
; The rather frugal FOTD fractal is a Julia set of the Z^(1.25)+C 
; Julibrot as it appears a lofty 550 turns up the logarithmic 
; ladder.  The corresponding Mandel point is just inland on the 
; eastern shoreline of the main Mandel bay.
; 
; To achieve the lacy, feathery effect I rendered the scene with 
; the outside set to 'fmod' and the first couple color registers 
; set to 000.  The result is marginally worth the effort.
; 
; As has been the case so often during the Fractal Central moving 
; confusion, I put too little effort into the image to name or 
; rate it, though curiously enough, the images I have been coming 
; up with during the confusion seem to compare favorably with the 
; long term FOTD quality standard.
; 
; Today's image renders in 1-1/4 minutes on my ancient machine, 
; which was alive and calculating before pupils now in the third 
; grade were even thought of.  Ten years is quite a life for a 
; computer, and in addition, almost 8 of those years were devoted 
; to FOTD fractals.  But time has taken its toll, and I fear my 
; 200mhz unit with its Windows-95 O.S. is nearing the end of the 
; road.  What will replace it is still a mystery, but when it is 
; retired, it will have earned a place of honor in the fractal 
; hall of fame, (whatever that is).
; 
; For the comfort of the impatient and for the ease of those with 
; machines that don't care about the good old DOS-Vesa days, the 
; finished GIF image is posted on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The sun was warm and the temperature was mild here at Old 
; Fractal Central on Tuesday, but the high wind spoiled the day 
; for the fractal cats.  The wind made so much noise in the brush 
; that it masked sounds of possible approaching danger.  The duo 
; was outside only a little over one hour, but all was not lost. 
; A big treat of tuna in the evening brought their day to a happy 
; ending.
; 
; My day was mildly satisfactory.  I managed to stay ahead of 
; things for one day, but the immediate future looks quite hectic. 
; The next FOTD is due to appear in 24 hours.  The likelihood of 
; it actually appearing is around 95 percent.  Until tomorrow at 
; this same time, take care, and look for the iterations.
