A first version of a tool to generate thumbnails online has been released by Transatlantic Technical Services at http://thumber.bigplain.com. Designed to be simple and fast, you can upload your images, set the crop size and scale interactively and get a thumbnail easily. It is intended to be the first in a series of image manipulation tools, each making it easy to do just one thing.

This is a programmers blog, a message board of sorts. Although it might contain some comments about what I’m currently working on, it will mostly be a notice board for programming solutions. Often I find myself looking on Google for the answer to some conundrum, only to discover that the phrases I search for are not standard terminology. A post or two here will help bridge that gap for those that are repeating my errors
Every now and then I come across a great article that forces me to revise my thinking, to look at a problem in a new light or to consider some great new tool. This is where I’ll be posting my aides memoire.
