F.O.T.N. (Fractal of the Night) 4 May 1998 (The Hospital Grounds)


As Dr. E crossed the small park between the small shopping center and the hospital, she couldn't help enjoying the moment. After all, she is quite uncertain what she will find when (and if) she gets into the intensive care room where 'they' are keeping Dr. J. They claimed he was not iterating. She has her doubts, since they had said something about arrest. Was Dr. J already under arrest? In her candy striped volunteer outfit and pig tail wig, she is ready to find out for herself.

Maybe the rest of us need to take a break from our computers and enjoy the nice spring outdoors.  Hmmmm...
Maybe tomorrow.

PS. I hope you enjoy these issues of Fractal of the Night, my attempt to follow in the steps of a great artist, Jim Muth. He has given us Fractal of the Day, the daily feature we all enjoy, for more than a year. It is a great service, there is no reason to let him have all the fun, er, responsibility. :-)

So bear with me a few more days while we follow Dr. E back into the hospital. We all (including me) wonder about Dr. J :-)

The parameter and formula files for Fractint are included below. Copy them into a quickie.par file for quick loading into Fractint. For longer term use, copy the frm: block into a FotN.frm file. But this time leave off the 'frm:' part.  Then copy the rest (the par parts) into your FotN.par file.
