I just got a call from my former employer, a large telecom. They are starting the process of canceling my long term disability. They say it is due to the fact that they don't have up-to-date info from my treating physician, but every time they have asked for that, I have told them there is no treatment for my condition and therefore no "treating physician" and, after volunteering to go see any doctor that they would like, they have always said "OK". My regular doctor who I see for colds or the flu won't fill out medical info for my condition because she isn't "treating" me for it, and the closest doctors that do "treat" this condition (when it is "treatable") are a six-hour drive from my house and are the ones that told me that there is nothing they can do for me because they can't determine the cause. So now, some sort of automatic termination of benefits has been triggered for my long-term disability benefits and I'm still over a year away for a hearing for any Social Security benefits. I've left a VM for some supervisor that can override that, but would really appreciate it if you could keep this in your prayers. The stress over this isn't good for me. I'm having to go lay down now because my entire head is numb and I'm having chest pains. If you don't see me around much over the next couple of days, you'll know why.
DOH!
Just had one of those OH CRAP! moments. I intended to delete all the files in my folder with "par" as part of the name. Worked great...except it also deleted my PARAMETER folder with all my M3D thumbnails and parameters! Luckily, everything through yesterday was backed up, and I've posted the 15 or 18 missing parameters on Google Plus. So I can get them back, but it sure would be nice to have batch M3P -> TXT and batch TXT -> M3P capability. So happy that I've been sharing all my parameters on G+ though. Not only does it allow others to play with them, but really saves my bacon when I do something uber dumb! LOL
Like a bad rash than won't go away, I'm BAAAACK!
It's been a crazy year and I haven't been around for a while. Moved into a new place and got it all set up, got both of my kids through high school, and stayed real busy as the head moderator over on Theologica (theologica.ning.com). Haven't done fractals in a long, long time. Then, last Sunday, an online friend posted something from Mandelbulb 3D. Blew me away and I had to check it out. And in the last five nights, I've been up past 5am on four of them - partly because of insomnia and partly because I was so lost in M3D that I couldn't find my way back home. :) I've been busy though. I only post a small bit of my work here on DA. For
My ordeal may be coming to an end
If you have followed my journal for the last three years, you know about my fight with an insurance company that used my computer's ability to render fractals as some justification that I was not disabled. They have now agreed, however, to arbitration in the case. It is scheduled for next Tuesday. It is going to be an all day ordeal and I will be spending it between my wheelchair and a reclining camp chair that I am going to have to bring myself.
My ordeal with my insurance company may go away next week....but so may all information I have posted about what they have put me through. If you want to see/archive it before it is possibly gone
An Easy Explanation of Fractals
Just posted a short web page explaining fractals for all those that have asked me the question over the years. You can read it at this (http://bit.ly/FractalTutorial). I tried to use non-technical language as if I were going to be teaching this to home-school kids or something. If you haven't seen the videos I link to there though, you should really check them out.
