fraserspeirs   LT: In the absence of any other knowledge, is there an otool or other incantation that will tell me if a framework is GC-capable? - 11/6, 2am from Tweetie

fraserspeirs   @ianbetteridge Absolutely agree, and I hope this tilts the public mood towards smaller government. - 5/12, 1am from Tweetie

fraserspeirs   @blech iPhoto '09 badness? - 4/27, 3pm from Tweetie

fraserspeirs   Just drove past two epic smashes in Glasgow's west end. Ambulances, airbags deployed, the works. - 2/15, 4am from Tweetie

fraserspeirs   It's been, what, an hour now and nobody has made a "two chicks" gag about my twin-yolk egg? It's like nobody wants to lead favrd today. - 1/29, 6am from twitterrific

fraserspeirs   Now developing a physical ache for a MDP-DualDVI adapter. - 1/7, 6am from twitterrific
fraserspeirs   Unnaturally upset that iTunes says "£0.20 a song" instead of "per song" for upgrade. I don't even know if it is wrong, but it feels wrong. - 1/7, 2am from twitterrific
fraserspeirs   @Stubbs I thought there would be no return to boom and bust.... - 1/6, 7am from twitterrific

fraserspeirs   Is Michael Crichton having his body preserved in amber? - 11/5, 10am from twitterrific
fraserspeirs   No democracy could accept that kind of double dealing with the electorate. - 11/5, 7am from twitterrific
fraserspeirs   @charlesarthur Excellent suggestion. Just called them and a team will come out Monday. I assumed they wouldn't handle inside the property. - 11/1, 4am from twitterrific
