Subject: (fractint) FOTD  15-11-01  (Ultraviolet Midget [6])

FOTD -- November 15, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is named for the colors rather than the forms.  
The formula, Z^(2.5)+C, is unexceptional, though its location 
344 levels up the logarithmic spiral is a bit unusual.  The 
colors however are what brings the forms to life.

While studying the image, searching for a name, I noticed the 
conjunction of black and violet, which gives the impression of 
one of those ultraviolet 'black' lights that were so popular 
back in the psychedelic era.  (The lights may still be popular 
in some places, but I no longer go to those places.)  Feeling a 
bit nostalgic, I named the image "Ultraviolet Midget".

The color palette is a random one created by striking the 
<enter> key while in Fractint's color cycling mode.  I normally 
discard these haphazard palettes as soon as they appear, but in 
today's image, one of them worked just right.  It worked well 
enough in fact to raise the rating of a ho-hum image to a rating 
actually a bit above average.

The image can be seen and enjoyed by running the parameter file 
and sitting back for 12 minutes while the computer does the 
work, or by going online and downloading the finished GIF image 
from:


          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central, where the 
holly berries are ripening rapidly, was near perfect.  The 
fractal cats must have agreed, because they were in and out most 
of the day, enjoying the sun and temperature of 63F 17C 
outdoors, as well as the free meal indoors.

They had such a good day in fact that they must have been 
spoiled.  Thomas is even now sitting in the doorway, staring at 
me -- a certain sign that he wants more food.  And I also want 
to send off a brief reply to the philofractal list before I 
settle down to serious things such as work that pays.

Until next time, take care, and hope for the best.

I do - being a member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society sort of
legitimatizes it... :-)

There are a couple of mineral museums near Sterling Hill in NJ
where ultraviolet lamps are _very_ popular.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  16-11-01  (Eyes of a Peacock [7])

FOTD -- November 16, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I named today's image "Eyes of a Peacock".  The eyes I am 
reminded of are not the eyes at the front of the bird, but the 
eyes that appear on the feathers as the bird spreads its mighty 
tail.

While not quite as lovely as a peacock's tail, today's image, 
with its areas of order mixed with areas of total chaos, is 
unusual enough to rate an above-average 7.

The the parent fractal was created by the simple formula 
11Z^(-1.1)+Z(-11)+(1/C).  This parent is a grossly oversized 
figure that needs two outzooms before it totally fits on the 
screen.  The most striking feature, a wheel with chaotic spokes, 
lies in the northeast quadrant of the fractal.  Today's image 
lies deep within one of the chaotic spokes of this wheel.

The midget in today's image is one that I found by nothing more 
than instinct.  At the surface of the parent fractal, there is 
no sign that a midget lies at this particular location.  I have 
not the slightest idea where the 'hunches' come from that lead 
me to some of the FOTD images.  I suppose it will have to remain 
a fractal mystery.

It is no mystery however that the parameter file takes 7 minutes 
to run on my creaky old Pentium 200mhz machine with the noisy 
exhaust fan that often freezes and needs to be jogged into 
turning with a toothpick.  The running time on faster or slower 
machines will vary accordingly.

Those with little time to spare will find it faster to download 
the image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

Summer returned to Fractal Central today, as the temperature 
reached 72F 22C under bright sunny skies.  Also, the winds were 
light, a condition the fractal cats find stimulating for outdoor 
activity.  Tippy the tabby, the more adventuresome one, became a 
little over-stimulated while he was out, and chased an intruding 
cat three doors up the hill.  Thomas, the larger but lazier 
orange one, watched the action from the porch, ready to leap to 
the rescue if Tippy needed help.  Luckily for Thomas, Tippy 
needed no help.

Luckily for me also, the work today is reasonably light.  But 
even so, it will take several hours to finish.  I guess I'd best 
get started.  Until next time, take care, and it will all work 
out all right.

I am using the latest 20.02 version from the Developer's web site, and
from the Sound Control Screen, the F1 (Help) discusses the
"ORBITSAVE=sound" parameter on the Sound Parameters help page (near the
bottom).  I assume that it is talking about what may be set either from
the Command Line or within the SSTOOLS.INI file.

I just tried this by setting the value in my SSTOOLS.INI file and ran
quick PAR.  The file was written as "SOUND001.TXT" into the directory
path of FractInt's executable module.

Sincerely,
P.N.L.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  17-11-01  (Flailing Minibrot [6])

FOTD -- November 17, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image reminds me of a spinning midget edged with flails. 
It's not an exact representation, but it's close enough to 
justify the name I gave the image -- "Flailing Minibrot".

The scene lies near a hole in a valley of the fractal that 
results when the whimsical formula 12Z^(-1.2)+1.2Z(-12)+(1/C) is 
iterated with the escape radius set at 400.  (Escape radii are 
very important when working with formulae that contain negative 
exponents of Z.)

I feel that the image is worth the rating of 6 that I gave it, 
though if my FOTD's continue to rate above average, the FOTD 
quality that I consider worthy of an average rating will 
increase, and the ratings will correspondingly drop.

The parameter file attached at the bottom of this letter will 
reproduce the image of the day in under 10 minutes.  Or the 
image can be seen by downloading it from the W.W.Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The weather today (Friday) here at Fractal Central was even more 
summer-like than yesterday.  The temperature reached 75F 24C, 
the skies were sunny, the winds were gentle, and the cats were 
happy.  Being happy cats, they were well behaved all day for a 
change.

Well, it's now Saturday morning and there's a bit of work to do. 
I'd also like to write a few words for the under-cared-for 
philofractal list.  So I'll end the FOTD now with the 
traditional 'take care and keep enjoying those fractals'.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  18-11-01  (The Messiest Midget [3])

FOTD -- November 18, 2001 (Rating 3)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's scene is a total mess, which I could rate at only a 
below-average 3.  The mess exists because I spent much of my 
normal fractalling time setting up an observation post in the 
fractal yard, where I spent the night trying to keep warm and 
watching for meteors.  The work was worth the effort, because 
after two failed years, the sky remained clear and the 
meteors appeared on schedule.   They arrived shortly after 
3am at a rate of 1 to 2 per second, and the display continued 
until dawn broke.

I'll not attempt to describe today's fractal, which must be 
left to speak for itself.  (As though fractals could speak.)  I 
named the image "The Messiest Midget".  One glance at the 
unusually slow image will explain why.

The image can be rendered in 1-1/2 hours from the parameter 
file, but I recommend letting Paul and Scott do the hard work, 
and downloading the image from their web sites at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The fractal weather today (Saturday) kept the cats happy.  The 
temperature of 61F 16C was just warm enough, and the partly 
cloudy skies let just enough sun through to let them bask.

As for me, it's 10am and time to start the day.  The first thing 
I'm going to do is take a nap.  Until next time, take care, and 
some fractal problems just can't be solved, but they can always 
be reduced.

Hi Sylvie! 

Although you have a lot of great images, I found the
2821115 2821116 2821125 (maybe some others? 
2821127?) zoom series in Gallery 37 particularly visually 
compelling. An eerie, Dali-esque landscape, alluring yet 
threatening with those looping, razor-sharp ribbons and 
floral forms.  If you don't mind, I would like to know what 
the formula was. 

Also, I am curious as to why I only got the announcement 
on the Fractint list.  Did you send it to Fractal Art? 


Thanks, 
        Bud

Meteors? I rarely saw one (well, when I was young, perhaps in 1954 or so, I
saw one with the apparent size of the moon, surrounded by yellow and green
flames).I know there are specific dates when one can observe many of them,
but I don't know which are these dates (and hours; apparently in the case
you report, 3am was a critical hour). Maybe you can share the schedules, or
point to a web page giving these data.

The site gives information when to expect aurora (northern lights) displays
as well.
