The trip was a success, at least ; for me. I found a pile of rare and hard-to-find CD recordings ; at a give-away price. ; ; On the two-hour drive back to Central Pennsylvania, FL, noticing ; the snow-covered landscape, commented that maybe global warming ; isn't as great a threat as some would have us believe. I could ; not stop myself from reminding her that I have been saying so ; for quite a few years. (Actually however, the current cold ; weather is a temporary local thing and says nothing for or ; against the existence of man-made global warming.) ; ; But there is no doubt about the temperature of today's image. ; It is hot! It's the fastest image of all time. It appears on ; the P4-2000mhz screen the instant the key is struck. ; ; The name "Mandel Stem Minibrot" says it all. The scene lies on ; the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The unusual pattern around the minibrot was achieved by render- ; ing the scene with the bailout radius set to 3, which actually ; cuts off some parts of the M-set, but creates strange effects in ; the parts that remain. ; ; Since minibrots on the main-stem of the Mandelbrot set are the ; first thing a tyro fractalist checks, I could give the image no ; rating. But the fact that it appears instantly means that no ; effort will have been wasted if the finished product, which is ; just another minibrot after all, fails to bring happiness. ; ; Those who eschew happiness and those with over-qualified compu- ; ters may see the image in all its completed glory on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Cold weather continued here at Fractal Central on Sunday, with ; some sun but a temperature of 23F -5C. After a quick check, the ; fractal cats decided the heat source would be more comfortable ; than their window shelf. ; ; With the antiquing out of the way, at least for a week, my day ; was reasonable. It is also reasonable to expect the next FOTD ; to appear right here in 24 hours. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= MandelStemMinibrot { ; time=instantly on a P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7156775520884\ 15/0/1.546073e+008 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=500 bailout=3 inside=0 logmap=69 periodicity=6 colors=00041T41S31R31Q31P21O20N10J10F10B0070036FnI\ AhD7`95S42EaCNVAJP8FJ6BC47623z60p50i40a40U30O20I20\ C10600ygDraBkXAdR8YM7RH5KD4D82641aMnSGaJBP95Czz`UV\ Itr4kj3cb2WV2ON1GF18706065055054044043033032022021\ 01101000h2wM1U4qz3hT3_Q2WN2SK2OH1KE1GB1C8085042fI4\ ZF3SC2L92E61730eZUaWRZTPVQMSNKOKHLHFHECEBAA8775532\ 2OJyBf`AbX9ZU8VQ7RN6NK5JG4FD3BA276133nqYacPPRHCD8s\ RHkNEcJCWF9OB7G74832hGcaf2JL1RSoOPjMMeJK`HHXEFSCCN\ 9AI77E459224OilIY_CNO6BCWlBIm7Gh6Fd5D`5CX4AT49P37K\ 26G24C1381140cEOK7CUE2RC1PB1NA1K91I81GzzDzzBzz9zz6\ zz4zz2zzezzXzzPzzGzz8zz6zz4zz3zz2zz1zzkzzezz`zzWzz\ QzzLzzGzzAzz5zzezzZzzSzzLzzEzz7zzzzYzzVzzTzzQzzOzz\ LzzJzzHzzEzzCzz9zz7zzUzzVzzWzzWzzXzzYzzYzzUzzQzz6z\ zMzzIzzFzzBzz7zz3zzOEzG7z8tzOjzKazGSzCJz89z4qz0mz0\ iz0ez0az0Yz0Uz0Rz0Nz0Jz0Fz0Bz07z03z02zKhzgczc_z_Wz\ WSzSOzOKzKGzGCzC8z84z4zzn } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
