; 
; FOTD -- April 01, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-9.7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The name of today's image, "End of the Quest", says it all.  
; The scene lies deep in the center of yesterday's image, as far 
; as it is possible to go with the Fractint program.  Only heaven 
; or someone with days of calculating time to spare can know what 
; lies beyond this point, but from the situation at the center of 
; today's image I suspect there is little to be found beyond this 
; point but total aliasing and Moire patterns.
; 
; I have made no attempt to determine the periodicity of the 
; rings, though I assume it is into the hundreds.
; 
; The art value of an 8 is based on the fine detail in the outer 
; parts of the image and the smooth coloring.  The math rating of 
; a 9.7 is about as high a rating as has ever been given to the 
; math aspect of a FOTD.
; 
; The calculation time of a full hour is abysmally slow, but can 
; be ignored by checking the web sites.
; 
; Make life far easier by viewing the finished image on the FOTD 
; web sites at:

; 
; The day began sunny enough, but clouds moved in during the 
; morning and by early afternoon the sun had vanished.  The 
; temperature of 57F 14C was mild enough, but the lack of sun 
; spoiled the mildness.  The fractal cats spent the day waiting 
; for the sun, only to find disappointment.  The fractal humans 
; solved a minor computer glitch and then had an uneventful day.
; 
; The next FOTD will arrive in full color in 24 hours, more or 
; less.  Until then, take care, and technophiles tell us that 
; technological progress and the internet might turn humanity into 
; a single planet-wide conscious organism.  If this happens, then 
; I assume those in control of the internet would be seen as gods. 
; I sure hope none of these techno-gods ever turn as goofy as the 
; so-called real God in the sky sometimes seems to be.
