Why would that deserve a new topic?

Anyway, are those fractals on your avatar?

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.

Because I've always been too lazy to upload an 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?

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

A fractal based on the golden ratio would have been cool

@Clodhopper: Wikipedia is your friend. I suggest you should use it whenever you want more knowledge about something.

Wait a sec, I thought Google was your friend..........

A Fractal is a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension.

That's an entirely useless explanation

There's a song named Mandelbrot Set (from here), which is less technical but slightly easier to understand

Think of Wikipedia as a friend, and Google as a close relative.
