It seems that quite a few of the pictures on my posts to Japan are blur. They were resized using F-spot -- the gnome photo management software. Looks like they are automatically saved with low jpeg quality. So much for saving time from using Photoshop's batch mode.
After some searching on the web, it seems that I missed the resize functionality in Picasa. While not as convenient as F-spot (that can resize and upload in one step), it allows you to control the jpeg quality of the resized files. I will probably be trying this out and replacing some pictures, so check back if you see a post with the pictures missing -- I am probably editing the post.
*** UPDATE ***
Indeed, F-spot's resize on upload sucks. I am updating each and every post's images with the Picasa resized ones -- well not all, the more scenic ones... grrr...
*** UPDATE 2***
Re-resized, uploaded and updated most of the blur pictures for the Japan trip. Now that took long...

whatever happened to gimp???
it's simpler to use picasa than writing some scheme/lisp like batch script for the gimp. why should a script for batch operations even be in functional style?!?
