Long time no update, I know, I'm sorry. Busy at work still / again, and I've not been bringing my laptop with me on the bus to/from work lately. We have an important milestone next Friday, and we may have some relative quiet time after that, so I aught to get some work done then.

I spent Monday lunchtime writing a Mandelbrot fractal generator for the DS. Which is completely pointless, but fun. The DS only has fixed point support, no floats (In 1.19.12 format (sign.decimal.fraction)), so accuracy at more zoomed in levels will be a problem, but it looks like a Mandelbrot at the minimum zoom level at least.
If anyone has any good 256 colour palettes for a Mandelbrot, I'd be pleased to see them [smile]

I'm off work today, since I had a doctor's appointment this morning. I have a painful red lump at the top of my arse crack, which it turns out is a Pilonidal Cyst (Wiki it if you're up to the some what gross image on the page). So I have a set of antibiotics to take, which are likely to make me feel nauseous and poo everywhere - so I'm not going into work this afternoon. I have to go back on Monday afternoon so the doctor can inspect my arse again; fun.

Oh well, time for me to do some work from home, without sitting too much somehow...

Well, other than the obvious 8-bit grayscale, Wiki Clicky has some palettes that are 8-bit(or less) and look pretty decent with the picture(of a parrot) applied to it. Nothing Mandelbrot specific, though.

I wonder if your third paragraph is going to make it into this week's "Weekend Reading".

Didn't AnonymousPosterChild have a similar cyst? Now you have/had your very own Kuato.
