After browsing around a bit my question has changed to: does
anybody know how to produce as good quality thumbnails as those on
Drobe? Mine always come out really grainy. I did a test with the
full-size picture of me on Drobe[1] and reduced it to the same
size as Drobe's thumbnail, and it came out awful. So, I can get
decent 100-ish pixel thumbnails if I do it properly.

They should be fixed now.
