I ; have had it with the unending flood of trendy pop stuff that ; slows things down to a crawl with a dial-up connection. Earlier ; today I tried accessing Earthlink through the built-in network- ; ing ability of XP. It worked great. What a pleasure it was to ; go directly to the destination, be it e-mail or web site, even ; on dial-up, without passing by the countless ads etc. the ISP ; throws at you. ; ; Today's image lies rather deep in a kind of East Valley of its ; parent fractal. This parent fractal is little more than a ; cluster of overlapping order-11 Mandeloids, arranges with a ; vague resemblance to the Mandelbrot set. ; ; I named the image "Undekatic_Mystery", assuming that this is the ; proper term for order-11 stuff. I rated it at a 6.5, not a ; little bit of which is earned by the extra effort I put into the ; coloring. ; ; I could just as easily have named the image something like ; 'missing elephants'. Though the image lies right in the center ; of the East Valley area of its parent, no elephants at all are ; visible in the scene. Nothing remains but their merging spiral- ; ling trunks. ; ; The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is speedy enough for near- ; instant gratification. For totally instant gratification, see ; the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Clouds hung tough here at Fractal Central on Wednesday, while ; the temperature remained around a very humid 75F 24C. Cassie, ; the small gray fractal cat, had a good day. Nicholas, the over- ; sized 17-pound black cat, had a bad day. It was the day for his ; visit to the doctor, and both FL and I are sporting various and ; sundry cuts and scratches from the battle to get him into the ; carrying box. He passed inspection with flying colors however. ; ; Otherwise, the day went reasonably well. It's looking more and ; more like I'll soon have the fractal dedicated machine on a DSL ; line. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and start each day with a clean slate. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Undekatic_Mystery { ; time=0:01:50.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.46128270044467/-0.00113594365883053/\ 3.806838e+011/1/97.5/0 params=11/111/1111/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=163 symmetry=none periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000rIgqKepMdoOcnQamS`lU_kWYjYXi_WhaUgcTfeSe\ gRdiUchWbgVbfUaeU`dU_cU_bUZaUY_UXYUXWUWUUVSUVQUXOU\ YMUZJU_IU`HUaGUbFUcEUcDUcCUdBUdAUdAUdAUeCPeEKeGFeI\ AgKAiMDjPEkSGlVImYKi`LfcMbfO_iQWlSTmU`nVhoWjpXkpXl\ nXmlXojWphWqeWrcWtaVu_VvYVwWVxUVvVUuWTtXSrYRqZQp_P\ o_Pm`OlaNkbMicLhdKgeJeeJdcIbaH`_HYYGVWFSUFPSEMQDKO\ DFMCAKC7IDALECOFFRGHUHKXIN_JPbJSeKUhLXkM_nNaqOdtPf\ vPdsQcnQbhQadQ`_Q_WQYSRXNRWJRVERUART6RR8NQ9KOBGNCD\ MDAKF6JG3IH0HL5HO9HRDHVHGYLG`PGdUGgYFjaFneFqiFtmFw\ qMksT_t_PufDvl2wd5qY8lQBgJEbCGeFKhHOmKSrMYvOczRizT\ lzVozcrzcvzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczz`yhYufWqdTmbQi`\ NeZLcXIaVF_TCYRAWQ9VR8US7UT7TT6SU5SV4SW4SW9RVDQVHQ\ VLQUPRUTRUXRT`STdRThRTjRTlRTnRTpRTrRTtRTuRTqVZnYdk\ aigdodhuakzbnybqxcswcuvdwudytezsezrfzqfzpgzogzoizl\ jzikzflzdmzanzZozXpzUqzRrzOszMtzJuzGvzEYzRAzcBzbBz\ bBzbBzatzsuzuuzpuzktziszh } 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 ;
