In Drupal, the Imagefield fieldtype comes with a built-in thumbnail generator. If you’d like to control the size of the thumbnail, just set the value of the imagefield_thumb_size variable, like so:
variable_set('imagefield_thumb_size', '200x200');
That’ll set the imagefield thumbnail size to 200 x 200 pixels.

After installing the 10.5.5 update for my Macbook, I noticed both wireless and wired internet access seemed slower. My wife’s Macbook, running 10.4, didn’t have the same problems.
