easy thumbnails certainly does a decent job of creating thumbnails. I'm not too fond of having a template tag do that though... it basically does what i'm think of doing, but in a different area. it also doesn't send the thumbnail over to cloudfiles, which is really what i'm wanting to do, and without running syncstatic.
i'll take a look through easy thumbnail and see if there are any clues for me... i should just have to override it's save functionality to get what i need. thanks for cumulus! its nicer having a specific backend for this instead of one that is useful for multiples.. at this time anyway.
