Strange attractors!

Long ago everyone I knew did fractals.

Pecking in a few lines from MICRO CORNUCOPIA, let the Z80 grind away all night… look almost a quarter of the screen... Now I need to find my old copy of Fractint… and maybe update it…

A long read about some esoteric but of history, with a PC bias.

If you were ever taken by a strange attractor, you may enjoy this article.

Yes, everyone knows that Einstein's first wife did all the heavy lifting and he took all the credit...

I have to go to work in an hour but when I have a few hours to look up all the words I dont understand in YOUR POST ALONE :), I’ll get to it!

You sound like a smart fella.

The first half of your screen name suddenly doesn’t feel fitting anymore :)

In a study published just last month, researchers concluded that no amount of improvement in data gathering or in the science of weather forecasting will allow meteorologists to produce useful forecasts that stretch more than 15 days out.

Yet leftards think that they are able to predict the weather 100 years from now.

I did my PhD work in nonlinear dynamics - Chaos Theory/Fractals. Looked at it with a Information Theory twist. Biological world is full of fractal relationships.

edit the binary code with a sharp pencil.


We were doing that with teletype tape in the military for decades. Only the pencil was replaced by a little hand punch called a ‘chicken plucker.’
