; FOTD -- June 14, 2010 (Rating 8)
;  
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
;  
; This is a test to see how well AOL works with the FOTD.
;  
; Today's blindingly fast image is surprisingly simple, yet it 
; delivers more than seems possible in a mere 10 seconds.  In fact 
; it is one of the best quartic minibrots I have ever seen.
;  
; The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set caught well along the way 
; of morphing into the Z^4+C Mandeloid.  Today's image lies quite 
; deep on the negative X-axis of the parent fractal.
;  
; The rating of an 8 is justified.  Though the image is little 
; more than a quartic minibrot with radiating arms, it has a 
; certain something that sets it apart from the crowd.
;  
; The name "Pint-Sized Quartic" is a play on words that refers to 
; the unusually large magnitude of the image and the corresponding 
; small size of the minibrot.
;  
; The calculation time of 10 seconds hardly seems possible, but 
; this is how fast the image runs on my optimized, fractal-dedica-
; ted 2000mhz computer.
;  
; The trip to see the finished image on the FOTD web site at:
;  
;        <_http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/_ (http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/) >
;  
; will take a bit longer, but the minor hassle of setting up and 
; running the parameter file will be eliminated.
;  
; A mix of clouds and sun, oppressive humidity and a temperature 
; of 88F 31C made things pretty uncomfortable here at Fractal 
; Central on Sunday.  A brief but heavy rain shower just after 
; noon added to the unpleasantness.  The fractal cats suffered no 
; unpleasantness however as they passed the day sleeping on the 
; cool floor.
;  
; My day was about average; the same is true for FL.  Unless 
; something goes wrong, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and after the world ends, will the Mandel-
; brot set still exist?
