07:52:57 <njsg> they're gone and I've cleared joins and parts and quits already - but, for logbot, I guess often the workflow would be bugzilla report (either finding an existing one or filling a new one) and then attaching the code as mercurial patches to the bug
07:56:24 <njsg> ah, and then asking for feedback or review. to discuss the change this channel ( irc://libera.chat/%23seamonkey ) is probably a good venue, if it is not suitable, there is a USENET group too. There's also a mailing list bridged to Gmane, but it's much less used than the USENET group.
07:57:26 <njsg> er, to make it clear, by asking for feeback or review I meant the bugzilla part; of course it's okay to talk about it before or in comments, it's just that these bugzilla flags are part of the workflow. I should have split the above message into two :-)
15:41:26 <njsg> tomman: "There are three current engines" well, I rest my case.
16:03:03 <WG9s> well must be pulling a lot of freight then.
16:21:15 <tomman> WG9s: Antonov was right: the correct number of engines was SIX
16:23:02 * njsg goes check Entroncamento for six Co'Co'
16:24:16 <WG9s> funny thing is. speaking f engines, people don't get that diesel train engines are electric.  all electric drive with a deisel generator to produce the electricity
16:24:45 <WG9s> tomman: I thought the correct number was 42
16:25:13 <njsg> that's fun: there are *precisely* six 1930 at Entroncamento.
16:26:32 <njsg> WG9s: that can lead to some confusion with the term "diesel-electric", it's not a vehicle that can both use an external source of electricity and diesel, but a such a diesel vehicle with electric motors.
16:27:14 <WG9s> well that is how diesel locmotives have sorked since at elast he 1960's
16:28:29 <njsg> I think all diesel locomotives in service in .pt, at least those that aren't new, are diesel-electric
16:28:56 <njsg> multiple units, on the other hand, are mostly not diesel-electric, except for the oldest class
16:31:15 <njsg> but there aren't many of these, anyway: 0450, double units, used to have rolls-royce engines (as 0400). 592 triple units from Renfe are also not diesel-electric, but 0350, that were even slated to be scrapped, *are* diesel-electric from Allan of Rotterdam.
16:32:18 <njsg> (six engines, Bo'Bo' and twe two generators)
18:12:49 <njsg> have you heard of that MIT-licensed OS recently released by IBM and Microsoft?
