It’s a mess over here, plus I forgot how to edit many things in WP. I might be (again) changing the galleries to something smaller and with less images, and with more subdivisions. Having 2934752 galleries don’t make sense, neither a giant one with all the image does… It’s not an easy task to add descriptions, tags, etc. to all these things. It’s actually pretty boring and confusing. Chaos at its best. For a start, I’ve changed the theme of the site, but I won’t be making any further customizations to that. No thanks. There will be a few mistakes here and there.
There are at least 300 new images that should/could be added (just those made with JWildfire), and a few months ago just for fun I decided to finally update my Ultrafractal copy (it’s still too expensive!) and I started re-rendering all my saved parameters, tweaking them as much as possible but keeping the original names. Some of these original images were really awful and silly and meaningless (what was I thinking?) and might be still here, but some will be defintely be zapped. Some of the tweaks changed them for better or at least to something entirely different, which was something very interesting to do. I also rendered them all in a much bigger size and resolution, as now it’s not as slow as before. Some of these images might have been made when it almost became a daily task to make 10 fractals or more every day, which is what made me stay away from them for a long time (10 years?) after a while. Creating fractals was never a job for me, but it almost became one. And the quality went downhill when this started to happen. Even in this “tweaking process” I was a bit too focused again after some time, I was redoing about 5 or more images a day which was not what I was planning. Then, again, I stopped before it was too late. But I could remake about a year or so of old parameters, there are many more to come. Someday.
Also I checked the links section, and a lot of sites are now gone, unfortunately. I guess with the social media people have gone away from traditional websites where you could find a lot of information about your favourite subjects, now it’s just instant “likes” that matter, the contents are forgotten the next day. It’s been difficult to find new ones that are interesting. I am still posting a few of my images on a fractal group on Facebook, but not as often. I’ll try my best to keep updating this site regularly and see what happens, if having a website is still worth it these days.

This post might be edited later a few times… the default watermarks created by the gallery manager aren’t showing up, as the image was posted individually and not as a part of a gallery.
