; FOTD -- January 27, 2007 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; After a minor consideration, today's fractal work was rated by 
; me at a 7.  I almost rated it at an 8, but I couldn't find that 
; certain something hidden in it that would knock it up a notch.  
; As it is, a rating of 7 is still well above average, and someone 
; who spends the few seconds needed to render the image will not 
; be disappointed.
; 
; The parent fractal was created by whimsiclly subtracting 2.2 
; parts of Z^(-2.2) from 1.1 parts of Z^(1.1) and adding C.  It 
; resembles a slightly distorted Mandelbrot set with clumps of 
; fractal debris holding tiny M-sets scattered around it.  Today's 
; image is located in one of these satellites.
; 
; The 'outside' parts of today's image were rendered with the 
; rarely-used 'summ' option in effect.  The rating of a 7 shows 
; that, in today's image at least, this option works better than 
; anything else available.
; 
; The render time of 40 seconds is about as brief as it gets, 
; making rendering the scene from the attached parameter file the 
; fastest way of seeing the scene.  But some of the newer SOTA 
; machines will choke on Fractint parameter files.  Those with 
; such prima-donna computers will need to venture to the FOTD web 
; site, where the completely rendered GIF image is posted, ready 
; for viewing.  The FOTD web site may be accessed at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A morning low temperature of 7C -14C made life most unpleasant 
; for humans who had to venture outside early Thursday here at 
; Fractal Central.  But fractal cats never venture outside, so 
; they were not concerned about the cold.  Their main interest was 
; with food.
; 
; My day was very busy.  Tomorrow should be less hectic however.  
; Hopefully, the more relaxed atmosphere will produce a great 
; fractal.  Check back in 24 hours to see.  Until then, take care, 
; and where is the great fractal when you need him?
