Nothing out of the ordinary went wrong; it seemed to be ; something connected with overall cultural decline. (Real or ; imaginary makes no difference.) But even the usually dependable ; fractals failed to bring cheer. I did manage to find an every- ; day scene moderately deep in Seahorse Valley of the dependable ; Mandelbrot set, which appears as today's non-rated image. ; ; The name "Mandelbrot Mayhem" is something that came to mind ; effortlessly. There is really no reason for such a name. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 seconds is probably an overesti- ; mate. On my machine the image finishes before the monitor can ; switch to super-vga mode. To see the image, run the included ; parameter file or visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image may be viewed equally effortlessly at both places. ; ; The total sun here at Fractal Central on Sunday was mitigated by ; a temperature of only 28F -2C, which was much milder than ; yesterday's 14F -10C, brisk winds and lack of sun, but still ; much too chilly to enjoy the outdoors. The fractal cats ignored ; the weather and sought the heat. I also think today is the 20th ; birthday of the only remaining original fractal cat, Thomas, who ; still thrives with my sister back at Old Fractal Central. ; ; If all goes well, and I see no reason why it should not, the ; next FOTD, which will not be just another scene in the Mandel- ; brot set, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and ; cheer up. Time never stands still. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mandelbrot_Mayhem { ; time=0:00:01.33-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.75877366997/\ +0.077305412302/239894/1/70/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2750 inside=0 logmap=154 periodicity=6 colors=000gNVgNUhOThPSiQRiQQjPPjOOjMNkKJjGFhABc58Z\ 77U96NB6GD5IF5HH44J48L7CN9FPBJRDNTGQVIUXKXZM``PdbR\ gdTkfVohYrj_vlaymcxi_weXwbUvZRuWOuSLtOHsLEsHBrE8qA\ 5q72q94qB5qD7qF8qHAqJBqLDqNEqPGpQHnQIkQMhQPdPT`OUX\ MUTLUOKUKJUGHUCGU8FU4EU9DUECUJBUOAURAUQAUPAUPAUOAU\ OAUNAUNAUMAUMAULAULAUKAUJAUJAUIATIARHAPHANGALGAJF9\ HF8FH9EJADKBDMBCNCBPDBQEASE9TF9VG8XH7YH7_I6`J5bK5c\ K4eL3fM3hN2iN24RTJYOXcJjiFghEegDbfC`eBYdAWd9Tc8Rb7\ Oa6M`5J_4H_4TWBdTHoQNnROmSOlTOkUOjVOjWOiXOhYOgZOf_\ Oe`OeaOeaNfaNgaMhbMhbMibLjbLjbLi`Mi_MiZMhYMdEPhWMh\ VMgUMgTMgSMfQMfPMfOMeNMeMMeKMdJMdIMzHMzGMzEMzDMzCM\ zBMzfHzdIzbIz`IzZJzXJzVJzTKzRKzPKzUKzZLzcLzhLzmMzr\ MzvMlzykzujzrizohzlhzigzffzcez`zzYzzVzzSzzPzzjzzYz\ z2zz5zz7zzAzzCzzFzzHzzKzzqzznozlnzjmzhlzfkzdjzbiz_\ hzYgzWfzUezSdzQczOGzpIznJzlLzjMzhNzfPzeQzcRzaTz_Uz\ YVzWXzVYzTZzR`zPazNXz6Yz8 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
