Fractal page added
Posted by srcarter on January 23rd, 2008 filed in FractalsOne of my life’s fascinations involves plumbing the depths of the Mandelbrot fractal via Ultra Fractal by Frederik Slijkerman (http://www.ultrafractal.com/). The combination of infinite variety and engaging artistic presentation is very fulfilling to me personally. I’m not all that good at it, but it gives me a relaxing outlet.
Some of my favorite sites:
Janet Parke
Kerry Mitchell
And, there are on-line classes available as well.
So, I’ve added a page to my site that provides me with a place to share this interest. The first entry for the page is a pdf of the first two chapters of a book I’m writing about Mandelbrot Midgets. Take a look and tell me what you think.
Frederik provides a fully functional 30-day trial of Ultra Fractal. If what you see on my fractal page (and elsewhere on the Internet) interests you — try it.

As a Novell Fellow, I work on issues surrounding identity, identity architecture and technology innovation. My focus is the realization of a vision I call the Identity Fabric. When I’m not being a jolly good fellow (I’ve heard that one a lot!), I’m enjoying digital photography (e.g., the sunset panorama above), fractal art, writing fiction, and time with my substantial family.
I have a great job with Novell, but my musings here represent my personal views only and do not necessarily represent the position of Novell.

I’ve always been intrigued by this topic as well. I was disappointed to see that UltraFractal is Windows only. Are there any halfway-decent Linux apps for exploring fractals?
