I've created a new DA account for resources (scripts and plugins) for the new Java port of Apophysis. It is Apophysis-J. This is in anticipation of a lot of Apple and Linux users that may only create Java versions of their scripts and plugins. Since these resources won't work in regular Apo, I wanted a separate place for them. In the long run, I think it is going to be very important from a support nightmare standpoint for Apo artists to have a separate place to post the Java resources so that users of the regular program don't try to install them and run them. I know I don't want the headache of handling all the support questions of people downloading the Java version of one of my scripts from my current account and then asking why it won't open/run in their version of Apo.
I'm calling on all my Apo watchers (over 175 of you) to help me out here. If you have a lot of watchers yourself, can you add a link to the Apophysis-J page with your links (if you have a section for links) and possibly include a mention to it in your next journal or something so that your "watchers" would have notice of it? If you have scripts or plugins of your own, could you consider converting them into Java (the Apo-J program will do about 95-100% of the script conversion for you automatically) and drop me a note on the Apophysis-J account so that I can post them there? And if you are really creative, I could really use an avatar for the Apophysis-J account. If you know of any artsy types that have been in the Mac world and not had access to Apo before now, can you mention the new resource to them? I'd appreciate it.

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.
