The name does not ; refer to the image. It refers to the thinking of those who are ; on a media-induced quest to save the earth from the presumed ; imminent disaster of man-made global warming. ; ; Today's FOTD is a lot hotter than the temperature rise. ; ; The image shows a minibrot and its orangeish elements on a dark ; blue background and surrounded by a field of scattered debris, ; almost resembling a galactic cluster of stars. ; ; In my opinion, the rating of a 8 is a bit exaggerated, though ; some might consider it about right. ; ; The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set with large fir-tree ; shaped holes at the end of its filaments. Today's scene is ; located in the East Valley area of this parent M-set. ; ; The unusually brief calculation time of under 45 seconds makes ; running the included parameter file almost a pleasure. Absolute ; pleasure may be found on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the completed image is posted. ; ; Heavy clouds and occasional snowflakes prevailed here at Fractal ; Central on Monday. The temperature hovered around 34F 1C, which ; made topcoats the order of the day. The fractal cats made the ; heat source the order of the day. ; ; The work was finished just after lunch, which made me happy. ; The day's fractal turned out to be acceptable, which increased ; my pleasure. FL, who cannot suppress her instinct that the ; earth needs to be saved from global warming, was made unhappy ; when she heard about the 'climategate' scandal on the midday ; news. But regardless of the future temperature or ocean levels, ; the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and run for your lives. We'll soon be under 30 feet of ; water. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Slightly_Askew { ; time=0:00:44.91-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=-2.85080791053/-3.007770059655/2.8e+008\ /1/19/0 params=1.5/1.618/1.5/16.18/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 logmap=75 periodicity=10 colors=00020K10K00K40MBAQI9WPMcXcadt_zzzzzmzzcmzUm\ vOmpLzmIzcFU_U_WceRmlMwsIwzOUzZ0zb0zZ0zU0zQ0rB2pC5\ oE7mF9mFChHEcIHcKKcKL7hH5oCwvEzyFwqFReHXdHaIIgHIlE\ KsCUzBzz8czcczUmzUPzURzUTwUUtUWoIXlKZgMadOc_PdXTeT\ UgPXiLZjI_lIZlIWlBTg4Pc0PZ0PK0PK0PK0Pz0Pz0PzIIK09K\ 0BK0Bz0Bz0Cz0Cz1Ez1Ez1Ez1Fz2Fz2Fz2Hz2Hz4Iz4Iz4I_5K\ _5KK5LK5LK7LK7MK7MK7Mc8Oc8Oc8Pc8Pc9Pd9Rd9Rd9RdBTdB\ TdBUeBUeCUeCWeCWeCWgEXgEXgEZgEZgFZgF_iF_iF_iHaiHai\ HdjHggIjdLnaOqZRtWUtTUtPUtITtBTt4Tt1Rt2Rt5Rt7Pt9Pt\ BPtEOtFOqIOnKMjMMgOMdRLaTLZWLWXKW_KXaK_dPacXcadd_l\ dZtdXzcWzcUycTwcTtcUscWqcWncXlcZicZgd_dd_cda_dcZdc\ XddUdeTdePddXdXdcPlhItmBwr4vv0vz0tz0tz0sz0sz5qzAqz\ FozKnzPnzUlzZlzcjzhjzmizrizvgzzgzzezzdzzdzzczzczza\ zzazz_zz_zzZzzXzzXzzWzzWzzUzzUzzTzzTzzRzzRzzPzzOzz\ OzzMzzMzzLzzLzzLzzKzzIzzKzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIz\ zIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzz5zq4zo } 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
