Llamma - Tasking app. I have my whole day set up and now volumes, data and other settings adjust automatically.

Does Atrium actually load pictures? The Facebook app is still terrible for that, though it's better than it was, for sure.

Yes. It loads them in the feed and when you open from the notification. You can tell which picture of yours someone liked or commented on.

The only thing it can't really do at this point is open group pages (I don't mean "Liked" pages). It opens it in a browser. Not a big deal to me, the compromise of groups not opening in-app in Atrium is worth it to not have those damn invasive permisisons, pictures not loading and being slow like the Ofifical Facebook app.

Ugh, that sucks. Hope it's not bad. Did you get a note/information?

Got a new computer at work yesterday/got it set up today. Freakin' awesome. It absolutely flies in Inventor.

[Big_Jim]

nope, no note, nothing. pretty much a hit and run. a couple of neighbors saw what happened though. got a police report. the person that hit my car was picking up a neighbor of mine. will confront when I get home from work tongiht.

[mckpat03]

Ah man, I hope the other parties are decent and it gets sorted out.

Probably better not to confront them if a police report is on file, unless you mean confront in the sense of speak calmly.

Jims not gonna kill anyone lol

[Big_Jim]

Not anymore.

[HickRocket1258]

How'd it work out for you Jim?

OCMD weather was a bust Saturday night. ****.

[mckpat03]

Morning all.

So next week I'll be in Los Angeles on vacation, staying with a good friend out there. Have any of you been out there? Any cool things to see as auto enthusiasts?

[HickRocket1258]

Morning folks. I think I may have found a buyer for my wheels. After I receive the money I will be calling up the guy I'm purchasing my converter from and hoping for 12.20s in cool weather.

[Drftpretty]

Thoughts on this tow hook? On the fence. Had it coated to match the car. Classy or rice?

i go out there all the time. i got a buddy that lives in the hollywood hills.

eh the tourist stuff isnt bad if you go to hollywood like hollywood blvd. sunset blvd is really nice going from west hollywood into beverly hills (you'll see a ton of nice car on that stretch of road). Theres a bugatti parked in beverly hills on rodeo drive all the time. the owner passed away so they leave it in front of the store. also the petersen automotive museum is in hollywood at Wilshire & Fairfax

hit up santa monica if you can, i always enjoy that. you can do venice beach which is like 10 mins south of santa moncia but if you dont like hippies, i wouldnt go. i hate that place because its nothing but hippies and smells like incense.

Catalina island is another great place if you have a day to spend. you have to drive to long beach and take a boat over but its very well worth it.

been cleaning up my itunes library, god what a ****ing mess! I hate the new itunes layout too, I want to view by artist and see what genre the songs/albums are classified as so i can unify them.

Awesome! Thanks for the car related notes! My friend actually lives up in the Santa Monica area, so I guess that's convenient, haha. I read about Catalina Island earlier, too, and it seems really neat.
