April 3, 2013: No Iffs Ands or Butts April 1 April 5 2013 FOTD Home
  Rating 8

no iffs ands or butts

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image is a Julia set of the point where the positive X-axis crosses the eastern extremity of the main bay of the (-Z)^(2.5)+C Mandeloid.  A kind of East Valley lies at this point, though it is too small to be seen without enlargement.

I named the image "No Iffs Ands or Butts".  I refuse to admit the inspiration for the name.  At least a full point of the rating of an 8 is due to the coloring, which I put almost an hour into.

The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes borders on slowness.  Relief may be found at one of the web sites however.

A mix of sun and clouds, with a temperature of 43F +6C and brisk winds made today feel unpleasantly cool here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cat enjoyed the periods when the sun was out, while the humans tried to figure out why we cannot gain access to the FOTD-crosscan web site web site.

The next FOTD will be posted soon.  Until whenever, take care, and the environmentalists who protest against oil pipelines should be ready to set an example and stop consuming the oil that makes the pipelines necessary.  If they are unwilling or unable to kick the oil habit themselves, they should remain silent and stop pushing for laws to force others to comply with their own particular ideas.
