Guy,

 Your 3d-002 through 3d-006 only give plain white screens. The others are=

good though.

Subject: (fractint) New e-mail address

My original ISP, Hooked.net, has been bought-out three
times since I first joined in 1996.  Under the auspices of
the latest owners, ClearData.net, the wenet/hooked server
went down hard early Monday morning (the 4th).  I have
finally re-joined cyberspace, almost a week later, as a
member of Value.net (another part of ClearData.net).
ClearData is attempting to recover mail and other data
from the server, but is making no guarantees of success.

If you have sent me any important messages since the 3rd,
please send a copy to my new address,

[e-mail]

and delete my old address

[e-mail]


Thank you,
        Mark AKA Bud

Subject: (fractint) FOTD 11-12-00 (Fractal Diversion [4])

Classic FOTD -- December 11, 2000 (Rating 4)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I had intended to continue the 4D rotation series today, but
just as I was ready to start writing the discussion, I was
dragged to a concert of Christmas songs.  The concert was
acceptable, but by the time I got back to my desk, it was too
late to give the FOTD discussion the attention it needs.  I
substituted an image I found and saved several weeks ago.

The iterated formula, -9Z^(-1.5)-Z^(-13)+(1/C), is not
exceptional, though like many M-Mix4 formulas, it draws some
unexpected images.  Perhaps the most unusual things about the
image are the unusually long time it takes to render, and the
unusually large size of the GIF file.

The image itself is typical of midgets lying between buds very
near the shore of the M-set.  The scene lies in the East valley
area of a larger midget.  The parameter file drags unbearably,
requiring over 1-1/2 hours on a Pentium 200mhz machine.  The GIF
file is available for download at:

          alt.binaries.pictures.fractals

and at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with a
temperature of 37F (3C) and a mixture of rain and snow in the
afternoon that kept the fractal cats snug indoors.

And after an afternoon of sitting and listening, I'm ready to
settle into my favorite chair for an hour or so of TV.  Until
tomorrow, when the rotation series definitely will continue,
take care, and see you then.

Subject: (fractint) Corrections to the Fractal Art FAQ (v. 1.21)

In spite of the fact that the html code was carefully checked with the
validator html-Tidy (written by Dave Ragett, a gourou of the W3C) I was
informed, thanks to Angela Wilczynski that there were problems with
Netscape. It appears that this browser doesn't match with all the HTML
standards because it doesn't understand several entities like “ or
β
The new version 1.21 is compatible with Netscape 4 and IE5 (don't use
Netscape or Mozilla 6 wich have too much bugs).

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

There's little to say about today's images, which have now been
rotated all the way to the Julia orientation.  The bridge has
now broadened to infinity, so that the entire interior of the
scene, and of the entire fractal as well, is in effect filled
with a single point.

The bridge is no longer visible because we have been skimming it
just above the surface.  The interior of the fractal is
therefore filled with the point just barely above the bottom
shoreline of the original period-4 bud.  The second image
illustrates the entire Julia set.

If the real(p3) (or imaginary 'C') parameter were reduced just
slightly, the image would fill in with the Mandel stuff of the
lower valley of the bud.  If it were raised, the spectacular
spiral arms would straighten and lose their chaotic extensions.
Raising the maxiter would also cause the image to fill in as
even higher iteration Mandel stuff becomes visible.

With a render time of 5 minutes and 3 minutes, today's images
can be viewed more easily by downloading them from the internet.

and on the W.W.Web at:

With a temperature of 36F (2C) and heavy clouds, today proved
unfit for the delicate fractal cats to venture outdoors.  They
passed the day instead either stretched by the radiator or
sitting on their window shelf, watching the birds fly by.

We have but two more in the rotation series of images.  These
final two images will appear tomorrow along with a final few
words about rotation in spaces of four dimensions.  After that
it's back to the wonderland of midgets.  I've got a few pretty
good ones backed up.

Until tomorrow, take care, and know that a fractal at bedtime
makes sleep come easier.

thanks for the warning! I got the picture-coordinates from *.gif's of an
old Fractint (Ver. 18.2) but this version was not storing all of the
coordinates into the .gif. Now, experimenting once more, here are the
params again. Anyway, these julibrot fractals are 3d (for crossed-eyes
viewing) but no arguments for the integer math..

the 003 is only at little bit different of the 002, so no reason to make a
copy of it..

cheers,

Guy

Classic FOTD -- December 13, 2000 (Rating NA)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today we end the rotation series by viewing two additional Julia
sets, which exist very close to the set illustrated in
yesterday's FOTD.  The first image, 4D-11, shows how rapidly the
interior of yesterday's image fills in with brilliant Mandel
stuff when imag(C) is lowered slightly from 0.4871 to 0.487.
This value places imag(C) within the lower valley of the bud
instead of skimming it as was the case in yesterday's Julia set.

The second image, 4D-12, shows the undistorted Julia set
associated with the center of the period-4 northeast bud.  The
elegant spirals have degenerated into straight arms, and the
Mandel stuff has vanished.  In this case, imag(C) has been
increased to a value of 0.531, which corresponds to the center
of the bud.  Since it contains no high-iteration material and
can therefore take advantage of periodicity checking, this
second image renders in 1/20th the time of the first.

The 4D-11 image renders in 2 minutes, the 4d-12 in 6-1/2
seconds.  The download of the GIF images takes about the same
time and is marginally less work.  That download is available on
Usenet at:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and on the W.W.Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The fractal weather today featured very high winds, with gusts
to 56mph (90kph), and a steadily falling temperature from 55F
(13C) in the morning to below freezing in the evening.
Disliking high winds, the fractal cats spent the day indoors.

And I'm about ready to spend what remains of the evening
relaxing.  When I return tomorrow, I'll have some new M-Mix4
midgets to wonder about.  Until then, take care, and stay happy.

It must be unusual disk drives that it doesn't like then. It seems to be
ignoring the drive letter on the system tab. I have fractint and unzipped
the animator in e:\fractint, and can't get it to work -- it always looks in
c:\fractint.

I suggest you drop ClearData like a hot potato and get an ISP unconnected
with them. A sharp downturn in reliability when they took over, and then
possible permanent data loss, tells you all you need to know about how much
(or little) ClearData cares about its customers and their data.

The problem is in the FANIM.PIF file. This can be fixed in two ways.

1. You could simply delete it, and a new one will be created.
2. You could rigthclick the file in Explorer, select Properties, click on
the Program tab. There will You probably see that the Working directory is
set to C:\fractint not e:\fractint as it should for You. Just change it!

You must have altered the page

since writing the above. My copy of HTML-Tidy described it as "HTML

Neither of which are ISO-8859-1 (ie. Latin-1) characters. Whether these
render or not depend on whether you have a font which includes them
(otherwise how's the browser supposed to know what a β looks like? And
who want's to load their system down with a pile of Unicode font files at
13MB each?).

Well, Mozilla 0.6 is still in pre-1.0 development, so you can't expect
perfection (though it's a lot more usable than Netscape 4.x). As for
Netscape 6, which is worse, AOL doesn't have that excuse.

CMIIW, but isn't changing the directory on the system tab supposed to do
this? If not, why require people to specify the directory in two places, but
only document one of them?

Classic FOTD -- December 14, 2000 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

(Due to an unexpected telephone outage, today's C-FOTD is being
posted 12 hours late.  But better late than never.)

Today's image returns us to the MandelbrotMix4 formula with its
unlimited Minibrots.  The expression Z^(-10)+10Z^(-2)+(1/C) was
iterated to create the parent fractal, which consists of a
roughly circular object.  Small areas of scattered chaos line
the perimeter of this fractal object, and a circular mass of
chaos lies at the center.  Today's midget lies on the perimeter,
in the small area of chaos on the ENE border.

This small chaotic area contains intact Mandel-buds.  Today's
midget lies near the end of the filament that extends from this
bud.  I named the picture "A Thorny Minibrot" after studying the
image for several minutes and finding nothing better, and rated
it an average 5.

The render time of 26+ seconds from the parameter file is
surprisingly fast.  The download will take a few seconds longer.
The choice is up to the viewer.  The GIF file of the image may
be found on Usenet at:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and within 18 hours or so at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The fractal weather today was increasingly cloudy with a
temperature of 33F (0.5C).  Freezing rain is due to begin
shortly, though nothing has appeared yet.  The cats spent the
day indoors, unhappy about the cold outdoors.

It's time to shut things down and call it a night.  Until
tomorrow, take care, and see you in 15 hours.
