The last I heard from Jay was about 1 year ago. At that time he was
depressed over the death of his father and had lost interest in fractals.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 10-08-02 (Mood Indigo [5])
Classic FOTD -- August 10, 2001 (Rating 5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
A heat wave and power shortage struck Fractal Central today,
with the local power company continually cutting off the Fractal
Central air-conditioner via a remote signal. We get power at a
reduced rate in return for giving the power company the ability
to cycle the area air conditioners on and off in an organized
manner. But this cycling caused FC to heat up to such a degree
that the computers could be used only intermittently. It is a
rather curious situation we're in, with ads on the TV telling us
to turn off our air conditioners when it gets very hot, then
turn them back on again when it cools off. An appliance that
can be used only when it is not needed is a logical absurdity.
A business that must tell the public to *not* purchase its
product is equally absurd.
Today's image is not absurd however. It pictures a quadratic
midget in the fractal created when 1/2 part of Z^4 is subtracted
from Z^3. Since the scene is fairly routine, I livened it up
with an inside fill of <fmod> and an outside of <tdis>.
Then I noticed the somber, somewhat mysterious colors and named
the result "Mood Indigo". I rated it an average 5. The
attached parameter file runs on my machine in 11 minutes and 47
seconds. The GIF image will soon be available on the internet
at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
and at:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
The fractal weather today here at FC was hazy, and extremely hot
and humid, with a temperature of 105F (40.5C) and a ridiculous
dew-point of 82F (28C). The fractal cats became totally
lethargic, and passed the day asleep.
It's now time to see how much I can get done before the power
company starts cutting off the air conditioners again

Koyaanisqatsi is another of my favorite films. I replay it at least once
a month, and every time I watch it I notice something different. The long
scene of the exploding rocket at the end is one of the strongest
examples of the ultimate inability of technology to solve humanity's
problems that I have yet seen. And no, I know of nothing better.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 11-08-01 (Mandelbrot Star-Burst [6])
Classic FOTD -- August 11, 2001 (Rating 6)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
The fractal image for today shows a mini Mandelbrot midget
sitting in the middle of a star burst. The star burst is
located deep in the fractal that results when 11 parts of
Z^(-1.7) are subtracted from 11 parts of Z^(-1.5).
The parent fractal of today's scene appears as a split Mandeloid
with X-axis symmetry, rotated 180 degrees, with its head facing
east. From each of the two buds an area of chaotic lace-like
filaments extends outward. Eventually, these chaotic areas
collapse into single discontinuous filaments, which then loop
around and join each other far to the east. Today's scene lies
near the point where the northeast area of lacy chaos
degenerates into a single filament.
I named the image "Mandelbrot Star-Burst", though due to the
18-letter limit to Fractint parameter file names I had to drop
the 'star' part. After some intense consideration I rated the
whole thing at a 6. I guess it's a bit above average.
The attached parameter file not only supplies data, it can
actually be run to reproduce today's fractal image. The time
required is 5-1/2 minutes. And those who enjoy the internet
will soon find the image posted to Paul's web site at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
and to Scott's site at:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
The fractal weather today (August 10) once again featured 99F
37C heat and tropical rain-forest humidity. Sharp showers with
some thunder fell through the late afternoon, but this merely
steamed things up even more. The fractal cats, established in
their summer mode, did nothing but eat and sleep.
As for myself, the heat and humidity still prevails this morning
(August 11). It's a good enough excuse to spend the day doing
nothing but relaxing and thinking deep, meaningful,
enlightening, philosophical thoughts. The clone issue supplies
enough material for even a non-materialist like myself. I'll
return in the allotted time with another fractal and maybe a few
of those deep thoughts I'm going to spend the day thinking.
Until the moment of my return, take care, and don't get cloned.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 12-08-01 (Bombastic Minibrot [7])
Classic FOTD -- August 12, 2001 (Rating 7)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's Minibrot has nothing really outstanding going for it, so
I had to create something. To give the image something to brag
about, I worked up an extravagant color palette, intensified the
colors a bit more, and coated the scene with the bombastic array
of hues.
I named the final image "Bombastic Minibrot" because, like a
skilled politician, it makes a lot of noise while having little
to say. I'm not quite sure why I rated it as high as a 7.
Maybe I like the visual noise. (Writing can also be bombastic,
but that's something we won't discuss.)
The iterated formula that created the image subtracts 4.5 parts
of Z^(-1.5) from 5 parts of Z^(-1.3), then adds (1/C) instead of
the normal C.
The time required on my machine for this wonder to occur as a
result of running the parameter file is a little over 6 minutes.
The time required to go online and pick up the image from:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
or from:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
is somewhat less. But before going online, give Paul and Scott
the chance to render and post the image.
The fractal weather today was mostly cloudy and very humid.
What discomfort the temperature of 88F (31C) lacked was supplied
by the humidity. To add to the interest, thunder-showers roamed
the area from midday well into the night. The thunder kept the
cats skittish, but knowing that fractal cats are intrepid, they
faced the danger bravely.
Trying to keep dry, I'll return in 24 hours or so with another
knock-out FOTD. Until then, take care, and have a happy day.

Classic FOTD -- August 13, 2001 (Rating 8-1/2)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
No, today's image, with its fractional rating, is not pretending
to be an artsy film; it's an image that I just couldn't decide
how to rate. When I decided to rate the image at an 8, I felt I
was short-shrifting it. Then when I decided on a rating of 9, I
felt I was over-rating it. The rating of 8-1/2 seems just about
right. I named the image "Vitality". I brief glance will show
why.
The formula behind the image, -1.05(Z)+1.05(Z^(-2))+(1/C), draws
a fractal that consists of two contrasting Mandeloids in a NW to
SE oriented line. The NW Mandeloid has an oversized main bud,
while the main bud on the SE figure is undersized. There must
be a rational mathematical reason for this particular type of
distortion, but I'm not aware of what that reason is.
Today's tiny midget is located in a disconnected hole near the
tip of a filament extending from a minor bud on the N shore of
the main bud of the NW Mandeloid. When rendered with the usual
equal-iteration bands, today's image is acceptable, but the
<tdis> option really brings it to life.
To see the living fractal, run the attached parameter file and
see it in 2 minutes, or wait an hour or so, then go on the
internet and download the image from:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
or from:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
The fractal weather today was cloudy and very humid, with a
temperature of 83F 28C and occasional rain. The fractal cats
complained but accepted their confinement.
I must now accept that the work before me needs to be done, and
the only way I know to finish the job is to start it. When the
work is finished, I'll be here with another fractal and perhaps
some philosophy. Until then, take care, and be good but not too
good.

Did you mean <atan>, or do you mean that <tdis> is also good for today's
FOTD??

Yes, I meant <atan>. The <tdis> option does nothing. When I wrote
the discussion this morning, I was irritated because I had just
waited 25 minutes while 12 large (190K) identical and useless e-mails
were downloading from someone named Don Duplan, whose machine probably
has been infected with a virus.

Hi folks,
Finally got round to downloading the latest Developers Release.
The one I *have* been using is 20.01.06
the new one in fradev.zip is numbered 20.0.9
Which is the later? (and what happened to 20.01.13 which is what I was =

That is still the case. The symmetry can be hard coded for any given
formula using:
formulaname(symmetry){...
}
But I'm sure that's not what you want.

If you downloaded from www.fractint.org, we have a problem. I'll download
it and see what I get.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 14-08-01 (Code-Red Minibrot [7])
Classic FOTD -- August 14, 2001 (Rating 7)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
The outside of yesterday's image was rendered with the <atan>
option. It was not made with the <tdis> option, as I mistakenly
stated in the discussion. But this is just a minor blemish on
the otherwise infallible edifice of the FOTD.
When I wrote yesterday's discussion, I was very irritated, and
not concentrating on my writing. It is very annoying to have
work backed up, that needs to be done, and then have your ISP
connection tied up by the download of 12 identical 200K files
that are intended only to spread a virus.
I'm not sure how the code-red virus works, but I think the
multiple messages were sent unintentionally by someone whose
computer had been infected by the virus. The first thing I did
when the 25-minute download finished was to send a very
insulting reply to the sender, who probably sent the letters
unintentionally and has received many such insulting replies.
One must count to 10 ten times before striking the send button.
In honor of the whole affair, I named today's picture "Code-Red
Minibrot". My flimsy excuse for assigning the name was the
large amount of red in the image. I rated the image at a 7. It
really is an interesting image, although 'interesting' is a word
that is often used when someone wants to express lack of
approval without offending.
The simple formula (Z)-(Z^(-2))+(1/C) created the image. The
bailout radius of also 3600 is also significant, as it is in
many formulae involving negative powers of Z.
The image can be seen by running the attached parameter file,
which runs in 7-1/2 minutes, or by visiting Paul's web site at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
or Scott's site at:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
But before visiting however, give Paul and Scott a chance to
post the image.
The fractal weather today here at F.C. featured lots of clouds,
high humidity, a temperature of 84F (29C), and a lively thunder-
shower in the afternoon. The fractal cats were inconspicuous,
possibly because they were displeased by my irritated mood.
Well, it's now another day, my e-mailbox holds no virus-infected
letters, and my mood is much improved. It might even be
improved enough to tackle the philosophy I keep threatening to
post. But philosophy or not, I'll return in 24 hours, more or
less, with the next C-FOTD. Until then, take care, and wait
with bated breath.

Hmm, no, Code Red is not an email worm. By your description you

Yes, definitely SirCam. The text portion is the giveaway.
Code-Red applies to Windows NT IIS servers only.
