MobileScrobbler notes:

• Fixed: Keep aspect ratio when scaling profile image
• Fixed: Hide the prefs keyboard when touching the Done button, a toggle slider, or a table cell title
• Fixed: Correct a typo in the French translation
• Fixed: Empty the queue more frequently and properly recover from server timeout errors

DreamHost is having an issue with the fileserver that serves the cluster that three of my four repository servers live on. Consequently, the repository has been down for almost two hours now. They are working on it, but I don’t know when it will be back up.

I’m about to go to the dentist and will check on this when I return.

UPDATE: 2:22 PM - All seems well now.
