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.

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: 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.

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: and on the W.W.Web at: 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.
