; FOTD -- November 18, 2007 (Rating 4)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I had one of those days Saturday where I just couldn't find a 
; worthwhile fractal no matter how far I looked.  I finally 
; settled for the image that appears as today's FOTD, but even 
; though it appears as an FOTD, I could honestly rate it no better 
; than a 4.
; 
; The image takes us on a trip to the Zexpi fractal, which is what 
; I named the fractal with an exponent of Z equal to PI.  We check 
; the fractal as it appears 4 levels up the logarithmic ladder, 
; where it resembles a comical little clown with his head facing 
; southwest. Today's scene is located on the sole of the clown's 
; left foot.
; 
; The only thing not totally ordinary about the image is the fact 
; that a good part of it consists of 'inside' stuff made visible 
; by the 'fmod' inside fill.
; 
; I named the image "Zexpi Minibrot", which is simply its descrip-
; tion.  The calculation time of just under 3 minutes stretches to 
; around 14 minutes on the 200mhz machine -- hardly a bargain.  
; But relief is waiting on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where the finished image is posted for instant viewing.
; 
; A cold, cloudy day threateneing rain or snow made no one happy 
; here at Fractal Central on Saturday.  The fractal cats spent the 
; day on their shelf by the window, bravely enduring the unpleas-
; ant conditions.
; 
; My day was average -- enough said.  The next FOTD will appear 
; in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and how many Mandelbrot 
; sets exist at this moment?
