; FOTD -- April 05, 2005 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image shows the disorganized stuff I typically wade 
; through while searching for FOTD's.  Actually, this kind of 
; fractal stuff is not all that bad, and if I did not consider a 
; fractal kind of incomplete without a midget at the center, I 
; might make occasional FOTD's of the stuff.
; 
; In fact, that is exactly what I did in today's image.  The four 
; parameters are well-known irrational numbers, which when 
; combined make a rather bland parent fractal.  The place I chose 
; to investigate is the point where the negative real axis runs 
; ashore.  Midgets might lie hidden in the stuff of today's image, 
; or they might not.  I did not bother to find out.  But the stuff 
; itself makes a picture just barely good enough to qualify as a 
; FOTD.
; 
; I named the image "Fractal Stuff".  I did not rate it.  The 
; render time of 15+ minutes may be avoided by downloading the 
; finished image from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; There was lots of sun here at Old Fractal Central on Tuesday, 
; and the temperature of 54F 12C was pleasant enough, but the wind 
; was far too high for delicate fractal cats to be out and about.  
; They spent only a few minutes on the porch before they decided 
; to return inside.  The usual tuna treat kept them happy enough.
; 
; I will be far happier when the FC move is completed and business 
; is back to normal, which will enable me to return the FOTD 
; discussion to its expected quality.  Until the next FOTD, which 
; will appear in two days on Friday the 7th, take care, and things 
; will get better.
