; FOTD -- March 29, 2011 (Rating *7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a failure.  Long ago in 1997 it failed to 
; measure up to the then current FOTD standards, so I filed it 
; away and forgot it.  But now, 14 years later, I have re-visited 
; the old stuff and decided it is worth a second chance.
; 
; The image was created with the Mystic2 formula, a formula that 
; produces only empty circles of radius 1.  But the blank inside 
; of these circles comes to life when rendered with an active 
; inside fill, such as the 'bof60' I used in today's scene.
; 
; The name "FOTD Failure" points out the failure of the image to 
; make the grade on its first attempt.  The rating of a 7 with an 
; asterisk indicates that I now consider the old failure worth a 7.
; 
; Actually, the image is rather incredible.  It appears to have no 
; organization or overall theme at all.  A zoom into any part will 
; reveal detail unlike that of any other part, making it one of 
; the most varied images in FOTD history.
; 
; The calculation time of 49 seconds is true on the 2000mhz unit.  
; On the old 100mhz machine the image took almost 20 minutes to 
; finish.
; 
; Of course, all calculation problems may be avoided by viewing 
; the finished product on the currently active FOTD web site at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; Paul's original FOTD web site may be accessed at:
; 
; <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; My own FOTD web site is very near readiness.  Watch for the 
; address to be posted in an upcoming FOTD.
; 
; The weather on Sunday and Monday here at Fractal Central was 
; sunny but chilly, with afternoon temperatures in the 30's F, 
; around +2C.  The fractal cats checked the outside a few times to 
; be sure no unwanted stray cats were around, but spent most of 
; the time taking it easy.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted whenever I get the chance -- 
; probably on the 31st.  Until then, take care, and I'm still 
; waiting for the final theory of (almost) everything to be 
; announced.
