The first ; letter told me to find the hidden C, 6, and N, then read some ; mis-spelled text, and forward the letter on. I did all these ; very simple tasks with ease. I guess that means I'm pretty ; smart, which my modesty has always prevented me from admitting ; outright. A second letter asked me which FOTD images are my ; favorites. Actually, I haven't the slightest idea. My favorite ; fractal images change from day to day, even from hour to hour. ; It would take a lot of comparison and contemplation before I ; could answer this question honestly, if an honest answer even ; exists. ; ; As for today's image, it continues the theme of the past 2 days, ; this time with an exponent of 1.9 and added iterated value of ; negative 1000. This negative number opens the negative X-axis ; and infinitely divides it. Today's scene is another one on the ; edge of the infinitely divided X-axis, in the East Valley area ; of the large minibrot. ; ; The rating of a 9 seems about right. It's a pretty impressive ; image, but I never got the feeling that it's the best of all ; time. The name "The Wind Blows Gentle" can mean anything that ; comes to mind. It's a metaphor that could refer to anything. ; ; The calculation time of just under 10 minutes is slower that I ; would like, but the result of the effort is worth the wait. And ; as always, those who have no time to waste or have new-fangled ; DOS-challenged computers may see the image without the job of ; calculating it by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted for instant and effortless ; gratification. ; ; Lots of sun and a closer-to-normal temperature of 61F 16C made ; Monday quite liveable here at Fractal Central. But the forecast ; is for rain every day the rest of this week. We'll see how it ; goes. The fractal cats had an active day, viciously attacking ; the two fresh catnip mice we gave them. ; ; In my department, the work went smoothly. FL is worried about ; her garden and possible frost late tonight, though I doubt that ; it will get that cold. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Perhaps I'll continue the fractal roll I'm on. Until ; then, take care, and find the hidden fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheWindBlowsGentle { ; time=0:09:54.73-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.748168094567843/+0.00047373380185646\ /2.19017e+012/1/-102/0 params=1.9/-1000/0/0 float=y maxiter=18000 inside=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000R82S95TA8TAAUBDUBFVCIVCKWDOWDQXETXEWYFZZ\ GaZGd_Hg_Hj`Im`IpaJsaJubKxcGzbKz`NzZQyXTyVWxTZxRax\ PewNhwLkvJnvHquFtuCvwDwuEvsEtqFsoGqnGplHnjHmhIkfJj\ eJhcKgaLf_LdYMcXMaVN`TOZROYPPWOQVMQTKRSIPSGRRCSRCT\ QDUQDVQEWPEXPFZPF_OG`OGaOGbNHcNHdMIfMIgMJhLJiLKjLK\ kKLlKLmIMmKLjMKhOKeQJcSI`TIZVHWXHUZGR`FPaFMcEKeDHg\ DFiCHjCKlBPnASpAUr9Ws9YrB_qCapDcoEfoFinGlmHolIpkJm\ jKhi3ch4ag5_f5Ye6Wd6Uc7Sb7Qa8O`8M_9KZ9I`AGaBFcBEdC\ DeCCgDBhDAiE9kE8lF6nD8mF9lGAkHCjIDiKEhLGgMHfNIeOKd\ QLcRMbSOaTP`VQ_WSZXTYYWVXUXZSY`Q_aO`cMbdKcfIdhGfiE\ gkCilAjn0ko9koIatRSxUUwWVvZXv`Yuc_ue`thbtjcsmesofr\ piwqgrqenqciqaeq`aqZXrXTsVOtUKuSGvQBzS7zT3zS4yR5vS\ 6rU7mV7hX8cY9__AX`9U`ARZBOXBKVCFTDARDAQEAOFAMFAKG9\ IH9GH9EI9DJ9BJ99K97L95L93M91N90NA1LB1KC1JD1IE1GF1F\ G1EH1DI1BJ1AK19L18P67SB7VG7YL7aQ6dV6g_6jd6lk4mi6L9\ EM9DN9CO9BO9AP99Q98R97S96 } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
