Perhaps ; a bit over-enthusiastically, I named the image "Glorious ; Celebration". I leave it to the viewer to invent a reason for ; the celebration. ; ; The rating of a 7.5 means that the result will be worth the ; effort of spending the 17 minutes required to calculate the ; image. ; ; But sometimes the worth of an object is in the mind of the ; individual. Those who feel that no fractal is worth a 17-minute ; wait may find eventual relief on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image will be posted in a day or so. ; ; Immediate relief may be obtained by viewing the finished image ; in high definition on Hal's web site at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday proved to be a hot sunny day here at Fractal Central, ; with a temperature of 93F 34C that kept the fractal cats ; stretched out in hot weather mode most of the day. The people ; passed the day in waiting mode -- waiting for word from the ; computer shop that the sick machine has been restored to health. ; The word never came, but things are looking up. ; ; Wednesday began with light rain, but cleared off by midday, ; leading to a very pleasant afternoon with lots of sun and a ; temperature of 84F 29C. Late in the day we got word from the ; computer shop that they have isolated the problem and should ; have the machine up and running by Thursday. (Damn virus!) ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 48 hours. Until then, take ; care, and visiting other worlds by ingesting LSD seems a ; workable way to play space-cowboy. But, forgetting about ; legality, there is always that little problem of reality. How ; would the LSD trippers get the world to take them seriously? ; How would they demonstrate that the things they observe on ; their trips are really out there and not just a lot of unreal ; drug-induced hallucinations? ; ; ; Jim (I never inhale) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= GloriusCelebration { ; time=0:17:40.56-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 bailout=16 center-mag=0.3810124098623526005883449162/0.685148\ 192066715948738221395/1e+023/1/-150/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000o00r03t0Av0Gx0Oz0Wz1cz2lA2KA3KA3KA4KA4KA\ 5KA5KA6KA7KA7KA8KA8LA9MA9NAAOABPACPADPAEPAEPAFPAFQ\ AGRAGSAHTAHUAIVAIWAJXAJYAKZ8K_7K`7Ka5Kb5Kc3Kd3Ke3K\ f1Kg1Kh0Ki0Kj0Kk0Kl0Ln0Mp0Nr0Ov0Pz0Qz0Rv0Sr0Tm0Uh0\ Uc0UZ0UU0WP0WK0WF0WA0U50U10S00S00Q00Q00Q00O00O00M0\ 0M00M01O0AQ0KS0UU7aWAcUEeSIgQMgOQiMSlKWnI_nGcoEerC\ irAnt8rv7vx5xx3zz1zz0zz0zz0zt3zl7zcCzWGzOMzGSz8Wx1\ av0ct0ev0ev0ev0ex0ex0ex0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez\ 0lz0ez0_v0Un0Og0I_0ES08K03E007000100500733AA7CIAEQ\ EIYIKeMMnQQvUSzYUzcUzaUz_Uz_UzYUvYUtWUoWUlUUiUUeSU\ aSU_QUWQUSOUQOUMMUKM_CIc7Eg1Cl08r05v03zh0ze0zb1z_3\ zX5zU7zP8zKAzFCzAEz5Gz1Iz3Kz7Mz8OzCQzESzIUzKWzO_zQ\ czShzUmzUrzWtzWwzWwzYzzYzzYwz_mz_hz_hzaczaczaQxcQx\ cOvcOteMreMoeMngKlgKlgKocGv_EzWAzS7zO3zK1zCCz7Mz1W\ z0ez0oz0zz0zvGnctSevUexUgxUgzWizWizWlzYlzYnzYnz_oz\ _oz_a10c00g00g00i00l00n00 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
