One of the most tedious things I seem to do on a regular basis, for both blogging and developing, is downloading an image off of Google Image Search and shrinking it. Having to do a scale a lot of images to a similar size can become really annoying. I ended up writing a command line tool to shrink an image given a percent or a maximum dimension. Probably won’t be useful for many, but who knows!
Grab shrinkimage off of GitHub.

If you use any Linux with the Gnome desktop, you should be able to use the nautilus-image-converter plugin so right-clicking on a group of images will let you resize/ rotate in one operation.
