But today is tax day, and ; paying four-digit taxes always makes me irritable, which is a ; poor mood for creating fine fractal art. ; ; The calculation time of 48 minutes is slow, and there is no ; excuse. They sometimes say that anything worth having is worth ; waiting for, but this is not always true. Will the much- ; ballyhooed soon-to-arrive end of the world have been worth the ; wait when and if it actually arrives? ; ; Avoid this and all other calculation problems by viewing the ; image already calculated on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; See the image in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Too many clouds and a midday shower spoiled today at Fractal ; Central. The temperature of 81F 27C was well within the comfort ; range, but the fractal cats were more concerned with a stray cat ; that appeared on the back porch than with being comfortable. ; When the stray cat wandered away, the fractal cats finally ; settled down to relax as only a cat can. ; ; The humans had an average day, though I became a bit annoyed ; when I wrote the check for the taxes. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the world that ; appears to exist around us may be nothing more than a consistent ; series of mental images. But it sure is fun playing with the ; images and pretending they're real. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Wheel_of_Numbers { ; time=0:48:19.58-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.2411\ 836256383387634696/0.17032263787348613463818/9.917\ 833e+017/1/-120/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000stksskrrjqrjqqippiopioohnnhmngmmgllfklfk\ kfjjeijeiidhhdghcggcffbefbeebeebddacdabc`bb`ab_`a_\ ``__`ZZ_ZZZYYZYXYXXXXWXXVWWVVWUVVTUVTTUSTURSTRRTQR\ TPQSPPSOPRNORMNQMNQLMQKLPKLPJKOIJOIJNHINGHMGHMFGME\ FLEELDDKCCKCBKBAKA9KA8K97K86K85K74K62K32M41L40L40L\ 40L40L40L40L40L40L40K40K40K40K40K40K40K40K40K40K50\ K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K50K5\ 0K50K50K60L60M60N60O60P60Q60R60S60T60U60V60W60X60Y\ 60Z70_80`90aA0bB0cC0cD0cE0cF0cG0cH0cI0cJ0cK0cK0cK0\ cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0dK0cK0bK0bK0aK\ 0`K0`K0_J0ZJ0YI0YI0XH0WH0VG0VG0UF0TF0TE0SE0RD0QD0Q\ C0PC0OB0NB0NA0MA0L90L90K80J81I72I73H64GZ25Y36X36X3\ 6W36V37V37U37T37T38S48S48R48Q49Q49P49O49O4AN4AN5AM\ 5AL5BL5BK5BJ5BJ5BI5CH5CL6CP6CU6DZ6DcADhFDmKErPEvUE\ zZEzcFzhFzmKzmPzmUzmZzmcznhyomxprwqvvrzuszuszutzut\ zuuzvuvvvrvvmvvmvvmuulttl } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
