About the site

I’m still looking for a proper name for this website, but for the time being, let’s call it Quaint Symmetries. For a little bit of history, here’s a summary: This site was formerly known as third apex to fractovia, or Fractovia for short. The original blog started as a two-page website under the name of Fractal Division back in the summer of 1998. Over the following years, it grew up to contain over 600 pages, most of which were actually adorned with pictures depicting fractal representations. The site also ran through various servers, until it landed in its own domain name in March 2001.

Due to a series of circumstances briefly explained in this new era’s first post, I’m no longer the “rightful” owner of the TLDs. That’s the only reason why I’m looking for another name. So please use fractals.marguz.net for the time being to link back (if need be).
