I'm a (partially) rehabilitated hacker. But it's related to some fundamental character trait. So I have to redirect it, somehow. This is partially how my passion for fractal art started. Of course, both the math side and the aesthetic side of it appeal to me also. But the search in the parameter space for a nice image is fueled by those "hacker circuits" in my brain...
I currently use a Macintosh Quadra 630 running Thomas Okken's Fractal Wizard (version 1.6) program running under System 7.2.1. I wrote a few custom EDP's for it (i.e., custom fractal iteration algorithms). Unfortunately, it was quite a while ago, and I wasn't too well organized so I have some EDP's without source code and I'm not completely sure what they do... but they work anyway.
Soon I hope to post the EDP's and source code where I have it.
