; Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 20:58:27 -0500 ; From: Susan Brown ; Subject: [Fractint] FOYD for March 02, 2011 ; Id: ; --------- ; FOYD -- March 02, 2011 (No Rating) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Well, what do we have here? It's not an FOTD, it's an FOYD. ; This is not a typo, its a new breed of animal. I am now posting ; FOYD's -- Fractals of YesterDay. As I recently mentioned, I am ; reworking some of the old images to give my upcoming web site ; something out of the ordinary. ; ; Today's image is a 14-year-old one first posted in April, 1997 ; under the name Fractal Fern. A comparison of that old image ; with the improved version that I am posting in this FOYD makes ; it very clear that some of the old FOTD images have a lot of ; room for improvement. ; ; Since the work on the web site will leave little time to find ; new images, I will post some of the old ones that have been sig- ; nificantly improved by a second effort. But I cannot honestly ; call the old images 'Fractals of the Day', so I have decided to ; call them 'Fractals of YesterDay'. ; ; The latest news about the soon-coming web site is that FL has ; agreed to help me get it up and running when she has the time. ; In return I will include on my site a link to her pet project -- ; a word-search-puzzle site -- and she will do the same on her ; site. Fair is fair. ; ; My present plans are to post simple 640x480 images, along with ; the discussions and parameter files. But the images will not be ; mere duplicates of those on the old web site. The images on my ; site will be reworked to bring them up to my present standards. ; When I get the site up to date I will resume posting new FOTD ; images, perhaps in high definition, but this will be some ; distance in the future. ; ; Finally, I must state that things are still at a rudimentary ; stage. Most likely plans will change as we find out what will ; work and what will not. ; ; The weather here at Fractal Central on Tuesday was near perfect ; -- total sun and a temperature of 43F +6C. The fractal cats ; were quite frisky for some reason, and at one time I thought I ; heard them quarreling. My day and FL's day as well were quite ; busy, mostly working out web site problems. ; ; The next FOYD will be posted in a day or two, whenever I make ; enough improvement in some old image to make it worth posting at ; once. Until then, take care, and keep the fractal faith. ; ; ; Jim Muthjamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Fern { ; time=0:00:13.40-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=oldforms.frm formulaname=fracfern passes=1 center-mag=2.85889/0\ /0.0847159/1/90/ float=y maxiter=10000 inside=bof60 logmap=yes periodicity=6 colors=00070800D57F4BK3GP4MU5UZ6Zc6ch7hm8mr9rvAvzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwz\ zwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzvzzuzztzzszzrzzqzzpzzozzm\ zzlzzkzzjzzizzhzzgzzfzzezzdzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczz\ czzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzcz\ zczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzdzyd\ zxezwfzvgzuhztizsizrjzqkyplxomwnmvmmtlmskmrjmpimoh\ mmgmlfmkemidmhcngbneand`nc_naZn`YnZXnYWnXVnVUnUTnU\ SnVRmVRmWRmWQmXQmXQmYPmYPmZPmZOm_OmZOmYNmXMmWLmVKm\ UJmTImSHmRGmQFmPElODkNCjMBiLAhK9hJ8gI7fH6eG5eF4dE3\ cD2bC1aB0`A0_90Z80Y70X60WmEVnEUnDUoDToDTpCTpCSpCSq\ BRqBRrBQrAQsAPsAPt9Ot9Ou9Nu8Nv8Mv8Mw7Lw7Lw7Lx5Mw6M\ v7Lu9LtAKsBKrCJqDJpFIoGIoHInIHmJHlLGkMGjNFiOFhPEgR\ EfSDeTDCHABHAAGAAG99F98F9 } frm:fracfern {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: z=z^1000*(c^(-1002))+c, |z| <= 10000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
