; 
; FOTD -- February 10, 2010 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The formula behind the parent fractal of today's image includes 
; only one sign change, but that change makes a world of 
; difference.  I'll not try to describe the difference, which is 
; better observed than described.
; 
; Today's scene lies very near the negative X-axis of its parent, 
; in an area as full of holes as a sponge.  The sponge-like 
; characteristics are quite obvious in the image.
; 
; The rating of a 6 seems fair enough.  I was a bit disappointed 
; when I saw the finished product, which holds the rating down.
; 
; The name "Epsilon in the Oats" makes no more sense than first 
; appears.  The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is surprisingly 
; fast for an image with so much 'inside' area.
; 
; The solution to the calculating situation is to visit the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and see the finished image there.
; 
; Grey skies and a temperature of freezing here at Fractal Central 
; on Tuesday gave way to light snow at nightfall.  The forecast of 
; a blizzard on Wednesday seems a bit exaggerated, but we'll see 
; what happens.  The fractal cats never worry about what might 
; happen tomorrow.  They live in the present.  As for me, I expect 
; another round of sidewalk clearing, with FL manning the coffee 
; maker.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, 
; take care, and live positive.
