To everyone with a mixed-use blog on Planet D:  Please put categories on your
posts and tell Anders Bergh (anders1 foogmail.com-foo) how to subscribe to just
the D-related categories.<


Thank you, I always use tags in the blog, but I didn't know how to do this
filtering from the beginning.
I have now sent an email to Anders Bergh to show only my posts with the "d
language" tag, I hope to receive an answer.
(I'd also like to see PlanetD support LiveJournal "cuts", I use them to hide
long blocks of code in the blog).

Regarding links to my site, I have never asked for them, I didn't even know
such links exist, so feel free to remove them; please remove references to my
name too.

I think this is enough to solve such kind of problems.

Nick Sabalausky:
My biggest concern with it is that the one character is one of those creatures
that seems to have two torsos at right-angles to each other. I can't even image
the sorts of back problems that must create for them in old age, or just how
their biology is able to actually *fill* both torsos with useful organs. ;-)<


I think there's a solution: the chakasa spine isn't L-shaped as an elbow, in
the middle it has the shape of part of a circle. In the following months I'll
try to have an image that shows this anatomic solution of such part of the
spine :-) There are finite-element simulations of the mechanical stresses
inside dinosaur tails, adapting them to the middle of their spine will require
some time.
