Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

My new fractal gallery

by ~djeaton3162, Apr 12, 2008, 5:23:08 PM
Journals / Personal

Mood: Amazed

I was having serious issues with the my old fractal site ([link] because of the large number of images and flames in the single folder and the large number of thumbnails displayed on a single page.  Many browsers and FTP applications choked and things often timed out.  So, I created a new one and linked to old one to it.  Check out ([link]

The cool thing about it is that it dynamically updates the web pages whenever I want to FTP new images to it.  This allows me to set up some automatic FTP backups of my fractal folders so that any new fractals (with parameters embedded) are backed up to the web site on a regular basis, the parameters are safe from people who don't have a login (which I will give out on request), each image page has the creative commons license clearly displayed, and the web site doesn't have to be maintained.

It uses free software available for download at Sourceforge ([link] and the folks on the help forum there at Sourceforge are very helpful in customizing the very easy setup.  What you see on my site is the base install with a customized welcome message, header, and a modification to not display file names under each thumbnail.  Other than that, it is right out of the box.  I was initially hoping that PHPgraphy would display the embedded parameters on each image page (based on user security level), but alas it cannot read the parameters the the fractal images.  I later found out that most applications and none of the web albums that I found could, so I decided to stay with PHPgraphy because it is so easy to set up and truly painless to update.   I've been around long enough to realize that if it is a pain to update, updates don't get done.

If anyone wants some pointers in setting this up, there are free and/or very, very cheap options to do something like this. My site, with more web space and monthly bandwidth than I could ever use, only costs $9 a month.

That's a huge gallery Daniel

Do you never sleep?

=Rozrr Apr 13, 2008 Digital Artist

Oh my Daniel. This is quite overwhelming. The sheer amount of fractals all together. Mind and eye boggling.

Looks like a good set up for you. I hope it brings lots of recognition to the joy of fractals. This is what we all need.

Now you have to get it picked up by all the search engines...When I first did my site I spent 6 weeks adding URL to search engines. It came up with a ranking of 4. It is only 2 now that I am not teaching dance any more. However it gave it a good grounding all over the world. As I used to sell from the site that was very important.

Lots of luck with it, you deserve it with all you do for fractal makers.

I'm not seeking exposure as much as I am some way to keep up-to-date off-site backups of my work. I've had four comupter and/or hard drive crashes in the last couple of years. I've forever lost stuff. So I am kinda anal about backups. This is ultimately for me. I've shared the address here on DA and on the Apo list. If it gets picked up by Google or someone, that is fine. But if it never does, I'm fine with that as well. My Apo friends all know now and that is enough.

it's awesome

i see you already tried the tehnica in 3D Hack. i was going to do that these days to. also those mandelbrots i tried to tweak wanna test in 3D, to see if i can do vsomething. before i was only trying to get new images but now i want to understand more too

=GypsyH Apr 12, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Very nice

*zweeZwyy Apr 12, 2008

Seems a very good site Daniel, easily read & good access.

Incredible amounts of work, you must be the most prolific fractal creator of all-time.

~djeaton3162 Apr 12, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Quantity doesn't equal quality.

There is a reason why I have only about 5% of my stuff here. And the ones I end up rendering, even though only 5% or so are worthy of sharing, are a mere fraction of the flames that I've played with. Guess I need to get a life. LOL

*zweeZwyy Apr 13, 2008

Yes, same here, only put best of a day's work on dA.

It seems Apophysis IS your life, and mine too I guess. Can't be bothered doing anything else.
