You dream that you're in the fractal window of Xenodream and are asking to please stop clicking randomise now. You look at things in the outside world and wonder which metamorphs might make that shape. You play music and your mind starts to spontaneously create dancing kaleidoscope images. Anyone else?

Fun thread! ...you start scheduling your days according to rendering times! (hmm, four hours left, what can I do before I start a new render...?)

...you notice you've just sat two hours in front of the computer doing nothing except stare at the screen, waiting for the rendering process to finish!

...You look at your watch and you should have left for work five minutes ago and you still have to save all of your "promising" spots for later exploration. ...You have to explain to your co-workers what a fractal is when you tell them your hobby. ...You spot particularly interesting gradients in the clothes people are wearing. This is fun!

Yeah! I do that too with the gradients :D I was going to say if I'm in someone's house I look at the wallpaper and imagine setting it up as a parametric gradient ;) Can you imagine the conversation.. 'hey nice wallpaper, interesting switch from linear to saw wave there;) Sleep - something you do while long renders take place.

....you have 4 older computers boxed up, a laptop that you're using and a brand new computer ready to put together and your trying to figure out where you can put all of them and do APO renders on all of them at the same time!!! Not enough space but willing to sacrifice a little more dining area!!! :P

...the last thing to do in your day is to see if you have any comments (even if you didn't post anything) ...you try to figure out how many layers there are in a photograph.

I can relate to whirlingfeather's comments - just got out of work late due to having to save my Apo parameters... lol! I also have to try to explain fractals to my workmates - and they are all IT workers... go figure?!? I've recently had dreams about cool flames happening even... Let's face it... I'm addicted! T.

Who? Me?

....you get repetetive strain injury in your right arm and shoulder from to much xeno-dreaming and apo, and your doc says 'no more for 3 months!' will be back soon, luv jacqui xxxxx (aka aramina)

peace and bright blessings
