Argalius Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Why would that deserve a new topic?Anyway, are those fractals on your avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Congrats!Now I'll have an easier time recognizing your posts. (I generally look at the avatar first.) @Argalius: That's a fractal... he likes fractals quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 how did I guess it would be maths related..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenratiophi Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Why would that deserve a new topic?←Because I've always been too lazy to upload an avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I generally look at the avatar first←Same here, it's annoying when someone changed their avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Which is why I'll forever stick to my Eye avatar. Tis a good thing also no other user is foolsih enough to use it also..... or else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 That is basically asking someone to use yours, I would but I can't be bothered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Fratals are MARVELLOUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Now I'll have an easier time recognizing your posts. (I generally look at the avatar first.) ←Same here, it's annoying when someone changed their avatar ←Ah - I knew I wasn't the only one around here that did that. A while back I made a poll regarding this, but most people said they recognize people by their nickname. Personally, I glance at the avatar first, out of habit, and unconciously memorize everyone's avatars. Then, when people insist on changing them, my brain revolts What type of fractal is that?

goldenratiophi Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 What type of fractal is that?←I was going to use a Mandelbrot, but I thought I'd try something different and use a different sort of Julia Set (can't remember what it was). I was particularly lazy and didn't do anything to make it look nice, but oh well.btw: I look for avatars first also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Fractals own. I like the collection of fractal inspired art here http://dreamp.club.fr/gal1e.htm check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 A fractal based on the golden ratio would have been cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Ummm... hehe... What's a fractal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Op Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 @Clodhopper: Wikipedia is your friend. I suggest you should use it whenever you want more knowledge about something.

goldenratiophi Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 A Fractal is a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykkrosh Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimensionThat's an entirely useless explanation There's a song named Mandelbrot Set (from here), which is less technical but slightly easier to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Ultor Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 It should be a rule or something that you can't change your avatar at random. I don't even think of a lot of people's screennames. If Paul didn't have his legionaries, I'd be horribly disoriented for the rest of the year, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 My avatar so owns yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) I think Titus Ultor's avatar goes farther than just about anybody's (Sorry, Quacker). I would go so far as to say that it just isn't fair. Edited April 28, 2005 by Clodhopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Wait a sec, I thought Google was your friend.......... :)←Wikipedia is your best friend if you know what you're searching for - Google is if you are not yet too sure. Still, I've also found myself surfing the Wikipedia for random things and reading pages where I got through a lot of link levels.As for recognizing people, I first glance at the avatar, too - if some of you exchanged your avatars, I'd get really confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
