February 25, 2011: A Very Quick Dip | Feb. 24 | Feb. 26 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image is the third consecutive one based on the same theme,
making it worth a point or so under what would otherwise be the
case. The scene is in the basin of a larger minibrot in the
East
Valley area of the large minibrot on the largest starfilament of the
period-7 bud on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the
Mandelbrot set.
The rating of a 6 is a bit conservative. Had the image not
been a
triple repeat, I would have rated it at a 7.
The name "A Very Quick Dip" mostly expresses the incredible
speed
of the image, which on my 2000mhz machine finishes in two seconds.

I have done all I intend on doing about the inability to post the
FOTD's to the Fractint mailing list. I have no time to play
silly
games such as I describe below. The frustration is now
becoming
annoying. If the problem persists beyond the end of the
month, I
will drop my Earthlink isp of 14 years and sign up with an isp that is
not blacklisted by xmission.
I have already called the Earthlink technical support line and was
connected to someone who could hardly speak English. They
seemed
to have no idea what my problem is. I then tried the chat
line,
where I was told that the person on the other end was sorry about the
problem. (Not as sorry as myself, for sure.) They
told me
to call the technical support line back. I then laughed (lol)
and
gave up.
When I called xmission, they directed me to their web page, where I
found out what I already knew. I clicked a button on the
xmission
web site that is supposed to remove the blacklisting, but I still could
not post to the list. It was at this point where I said 'to
hell
with it'.
Clouds and sprinkles of rain kept a small damper on things here at
Fractal Central on Thursday. The fractal cats did not worry
about
the less-than-ideal weather. They spent most of the day
watching
two stray cats prowling in the back yard. My day was busy,
but I
have seen worse. The next FOTD will be posted in 24
hours.
Whether it makes it to the list is another question.
