She told me that Tippy, one of the old fractal ; cats, died peacefully during the night, just two weeks short of ; his 19th birthday, probably from a heart attack. There was no ; long period of sickness; he was in pretty good health to the ; end. ; ; It's kind of sad to lose a friend of 19 years. He was already 8 ; years old when I started the FOTD in April of 1997. But that's ; the way it goes sometimes. Thomas, Tippy's litter-mate, is ; declining, and will probably soon go to join his brother. And ; then I assume my sister will go to the local SPCA and choose ; fractal cats 5 and 6. ; ; Today's image keeps us in the same parent fractal, this time ; taking us to a cut-off bit of debris just east of the fan. I ; named the image "Fractal Journey". After all, that's what the ; search for a fractal is. Then I rated the result at a 6.5. ; The image is only average. ; ; The calculation time is a speedy 2 minutes. It is even more ; convenient to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With lots of sun and a temperature of 86F 30C, Saturday was a ; repeat of Friday here at Fractal Central. But heavy clouds ; moved in around sunset, and the forecast for Sunday is for ; showers. The new fractal cats, numbers 3 and 4, still in their ; prime years, were more interested in the birds than the weather. ; ; My day was about average. Sunday will likely be the same. The ; next in the series of FOTD's will be posted in 24 hours or so. ; Until then, take care, and look on the bright side. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Journey { ; time=0:01:53.96-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+5.992943482504987/+0.0360478707784354/\ 1.636003e+009/1/-92.5/0 params=-10/-1.1/-1/-11/0/\ 525/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=135 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000MUlOVjQViSWgVXeXXdZYb`YacZ_eYZg`XiX`kX_m\ UboPfqOisIluHpwAsy7vpFnhNg`V`TbUUjNcrGmy9mt8cp8Wl8\ Kg7Mc7G_7IV6JR6LN6MJ6OG9PECQBFR9IS6LT4OU2QV3SW3UW4\ WX4YX5_Y5aZ6cZ6e_7g_7i`8k`8lYBjVDiSFhPIgNKeKMdHPcE\ RbCT`9W_6YZ3_Y1aX2`Y3`Y3_Y4_Z4_Z5ZZ5ZZ6Z_6Y_7Y_7Y_\ CXXHXUMWSRWPVWN_VKdVHiUFnUCrUAqSDqQFqOIqMKqKNqIPpH\ SpFUpDXpBZp9ap7cp6elAghDheGiaKjYNkVQlRUnOXoK_pGcqD\ fr9is6lt9kpBkmDkjFkgHkdJjaLjZNjWPjTRjQTiNViKXiHZiE\ `iBbi8ciAdiBeiDfiEgiGhiHiiJjiKkiMliNmiPniQoiRphPph\ OqhMqgLrgJrgIrgH_TEHEBIHCIJDILEJNFJPGJSHJUIKWJKYKK\ _LKaMGiZCpj9wvCurFtnIrkLqgOpcRn`UmXXlT_jQbiMehIhfF\ keBnd8h_BcWEYSHTNKNJMIFPCAS76V22X46Z5A`7Ea8IcAMeBQ\ fDUhEYiGakHemJinKmpLqqPtpSwpWzpZzpbzpezoizolzopzos\ zovzopzijzcezZ_zTUzOPzIJzDDz78z2Gz9OzFWzMczSkzZszd\ rzerzerzerzerzerzfrzfrzfrzfrzfrzgrzgrzgrzgrzgpzenz\ cmzakz_izYhzWfzUdzTHzoJzm } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
