; FOTD -- October 06, 2005 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The old discarded formula I found for today is named 'cascade'.  
; I have no idea where the formula came from or what it is 
; supposed to do, but with no changeable parameters, it could not 
; be expected to do much.
; 
; I rendered today's image with the inside set to 'fmod' and the 
; proximity set to the excessive value of 1000.  The result was 
; rotated 90 degrees and stretched slightly in the horizontal 
; direction to produce the final result.
; 
; The name "Harmageddon" is a play on the word 'armageddon', which 
; refers to the final decisive battle that some religions expect 
; to soon take place between the forces of good and evil.
; 
; While yesterday's image was held back by its coloring, today's 
; image is raised a full point.  There is really nothing in the 
; image worth a rating of 7, other than the coloring.
; 
; The render time of 2 minutes is fast enough, but the download of 
; the image is even faster.  That download may be found at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The cloudy skies that started the day on Wednesday here at F.C. 
; turned sunny by afternoon, letting the temperature rise to 79F 
; 26C and giving the fractal cats ample time in the yard.  Today 
; is again starting cloudy, and I doubt that we'll see any sun 
; this afternoon, but the cats are cautiously optimistic.  It 
; takes little optimism however to believe that the next FOTD will 
; appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and see galaxies.
