Operation Fractal Tsunami was a success!!!
Last month I uploaded 50 deviation, and for May so far I have managed 34.
With the upload of Fractal thingy 524 today I am closer than I have been in a while to catching up (Finished Fractal thingy 553 yesterday, so only 29 behind now)

- Fractal thingy 524
This means I can change my upload speed a little and start uploading at a civilized rate (1-2 every 1-2 days) once I am caught up. However the reason I was able to catch up is also due to making fractals at a slower rate. My brother is back from university and he and my dad are on a mission to keep me from being on my computer all the time (a noble cause). This means that I can't manage to render more than 2 fractals per session, and only get enough time to work on them sometimes.

I am also still looking for a job. Once I get that I should have a bit less time.... but lets leave that until it actually happens.

In other news..... I upgraded my account to a premium one

I have ment to ever since I got to try it out a year or so back, but never did. The best part is.... I GET TO SEE MY FULL STATISTICS AGAIN!!! While what the statistics actually are isn't too important.... I love the trends, being able to look back the busy months and hiatuses.
Once I firgure out skins or whatnot, I'll work at making a pretty journal.... or at least less boring.

Its a bit late, but I just wanted to draw attention to my latest gallery nuke

There are so many deviations in my gallery that I am almost ashamed of. Ones I made years ago and no longer in any way represent what I like to make or what I want my gallery to be. So I sent about 180 into storage........ where they join another 250 or so deviation that were stored in the past.
I think it is important to clean up one's gallery every once in a while, hope you don't mind.

Two last items to mention
1) I know it is soon, but after fractal thingy 532, I'm realeasing another flamepack (#4) to include anything between 480 and 532 (can include other stuff too). It can be any size and include any fractal, but will likely be small since I did one so recently.
The reason for a flame pack after so little time is the next point.
2) I mentioned while uploading flamepack #3 that I was going to try out Apophysis 7x. I have and am never going back to 2.08. Its more for compatibility reasons, though I know it is backwards compatible. But one clear thing I noticed is that my style is changing rapidly with all these new plugins to try out.
It worries me a bit since my gallery in the past has been mostly bubbles, sphericals and julia things playing with linear variations...... and now I'm using tutorials (great ones) to learn how to use things like splits, loonies and lazysuzans (silly name

). I am trying to keep it like 'my style' despite learning methods I've never used before.
Either way, I'm a bit nervous and shy about how it will turn out, but after fractal thingy 533 there will definatly be a lot of new things that my gallery hasn't had before.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I am
