I named it "End of the World" and rated it ; at a 6. ; ; The name came about while I was watching one of those watered- ; down 'science' shows on one of the pop-science channels and the ; commercial break came. Believe it or not, one of the ads was ; from a group selling lottery tickets to escape the end of the ; world, which according to the Mayans and supposedly confirmed by ; science, is coming on December 21, 2012. I didn't catch all the ; details, but I suppose that the group is preparing survival ; chambers which will hold only a limited number of people, and ; when the end comes, only a lucky few winners will gain admit- ; tance to the survival chambers or space ships or what ever. ; ; Oh well, I'm not going to do anything. It's only the end of the ; world. I thought it was another serious something to worry ; about. I'd best get back to worrying about the asteroid or the ; volcano or the swine flu or the solar storm or the climate ; change or the . . . wait a minute . . . I thought the world was ; supposed to have ended almost 10 years ago at midnight December ; 31, 1999, when Y2K struck and all the computers went crash and ; civilization collapsed. ; ; The calculation time of today's image of a measly 2-5/6 minutes ; is just the slightest slow. So why not whiz out to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and view the finished image there. ; ; BTW, I cleaned all contacts and reseated every card in the ; 2000mhz fractal machine, and it's once again running like new. ; ; A rather nondescript summer day passed unappreciated here at ; Fractal Central on Wednesday. The partly cloudy but hazy skies ; were OK, as was the temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats ; were more interested in chasing each other up and down the ; hallway. My day was busy. The next FOTD will be posted in ; about 6 hours. Until then, take care, and be first in line. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= End_of_the_World { ; time=0:02:51.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.6399078173036166/+0.5867437930194448\ /4.255127e+009/1/22.5/0 params=-1.5/-1.5/-0.5/-5.5\ /0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=280 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0009NJ6LH8NJAOLCPNEROFSQHTSJUULWVNXXOYZQZ`S\ `aUacWbeXcfZec`gabhZdjXfkUgmSioPkpNmrKosIquFrvDoqM\ mmUkhaidjg_reWzX_vObrGenFbmE_mEYmDVmDSmCQlCNlBKlBI\ lAFlACm9Cm9Bm8Am8Bm9CmADmAEmAFmAGm9Hm8Im7Jm6Km5Lm8\ MhBNfDOdEPbFQaHR`IS_JTZLUYMVXNWWPWVQWURWUSWVWXTZXS\ aXReXQhXPkXOmZRn_To`VpaXqb_rcatecufevghwhjxilxjnvg\ lsekrejn`ikZhiWgfUfcSeaPdZNcXLbYMaZM`_N_`N_aNZbOYc\ OXgDOgCLfAJf9Ge7De6Ad48d35c12c00Y23S46M69H7BOALVDV\ aGdhJnnMwkJuhHsfFqcDoaBnZ9lW7jU5hR3fP1eQ4dQ6cQ8cRA\ bRCaREaSG`SI`SK_TMZTOZTQYUSXUUXUWWUYWRZVP_VN`VLaVJ\ bVHcUFdUDeUBfU9gU7hU8eW9cYAa_B_aCYcCWeDUgESiFPkGNm\ GLoHJqImsJFuKmwKBxMAvOAtQ9sS9qU8pW8nY7m_7ka6jc6he6\ gg7ci8`j9XlAUmBQoBNpCJrDGsECuF9vF6sI9qLBoODmQFkTHi\ WKgYMe`ObcQ`eSZhVXkXVmZTp`RsbPudzv`NwXzxTLyPzzLJzH\ zzDHz9zz6JzAzzEPzHzzLVzPzzS`zWzz_fzbizfzzjnzmzzjfz\ gzzd_zbzz_SzXzzULzSzzPDzM } 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
