; FOTD -- September 30, 2011 (Rating 8.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene deep in Seahorse Valley, where the 
; elements are of extremely high iteration.  Even today's maxiter 
; of 600,000,000 leaves some open areas outside the central 
; minibrot.  This extreme maxiter also makes the calculation 
; frequently appear to hesitate.  This is normal.
; 
; With iteration counts and maxiters like today's, the logmap 
; options are basically useless, producing nothing but flat areas 
; of color.  Shutting off the logmap results in an image with too 
; much trashy chaos.  The 'tdis' option would probably do better, 
; but it does not use the fireball-fast machine language of the 
; type=mandel formula, and would require many hours to finish.
; 
; I compromised by rendering the image with the outside set to 
; 'real', which adds enough detail to make things interesting, 
; cuts the trashy chaos a bit, and still uses the fireball-fast 
; math.
; 
; The rating of an 8-1/2 includes the standard half-point for the 
; coloring.
; 
; The name "My Name Is Fractal" refers to the image, not myself.
; 
; The calculation time of 21 minutes is on the slow side, but the 
; time will seem to pass quicker once the brilliant colors appear 
; at the top of the screen.
; 
; The official FOTD web site is at:

; 
; The high-definition image may be found at:

; The classic web site is at:

; 
; A mix of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 68F 20C made today 
; an acceptable one here at Fractal Central.  At least, the 
; fractal cats thought so.  They spent a lot of time in the window 
; that serves as their TV, watching for stray cats passing by and 
; squirrels gathering nuts.
; 
; FL and I, the local humans, spent the day doing what needed to 
; be done.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, most likely 
; a trip into the 4-dimensional Julibrot.  Until then, take care, 
; and there are 4 regular concave polyhedrons in 3-dimensional 
; space in addition to the five well-known convex Platonic solids, 
; for a total of 9 regular 3-dimensional polyhedrons.
