Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
A minor backlog of work makes today's discussion necessarily brief.
Today's unrated fractal resulted when I subtracted Z^(-1.5) from
Z^(1.5) and added (1/C). I rendered the scene with the
outside
set to 'real', which adds a bit of action to an otherwise flat image.
It would hardly be fair to rate an image that I found and colored in
less than 10 minutes. It would also be unfair to give a name
to
such an image. But it is quite fair to state that the image
renders in less than 9 minutes, which, for those who are dis-satisfied
with the result, will keep the wasted time within reasonable limits.
The search for a new fractal central went well over the
weekend.
If things work out, we will be moving to Sunbury, Pennsylvania by
April. The city at the fork of the Susquehanna River has seen
better days, but the prices are right, and since we do most of our work
on the internet, we will not need to find employment there.
The
new F.C. is a huge rambling victorian house with more nooks and
crannies than one could explore in half a lifetime -- exactly what
fractal lady and I have always wanted. But, as I said, all
this
is if things work out. We are still waiting word that our
offer
has been accepted.
Meanwhile, back here at the old fractal central, my sister took good
care of the fractal cats while we were away. In fact, she
took
too good care of them. They were so full of tuna that they
barely
touched Monday evening's serving. The next FOTD will appear
in 24
hours. Until then, take care, and it will soon be farewell
forever to Bodymore Murderland.
