Inserting CD Causes Blue Screen or Restart
For the past month, my office computer was acting up. After installing a new DVD Writer, and maybe because I had a really buggy Windows not formatted in a while, everytime I put in a CD or DVD, well, everytime the DVD Drive closes, the Computer would restart immediately within 2 seconds. I was unable to use the DVD drive for sometime, as I wait to bring my PC for service. However, the other day I had loads of CDs to burn, so I had to find a temporary solution.

Zooomr updated and Juploadr
Finally, Juploadr Alpha is released and it now works for Zooomr. For those who don’t know, Juploadr is an opensource Javascript based software for Windows and Mac that is very useful for uploading pictures in batches to Zooomr as well as Flickr. For a while, Juploadr 1.2 had not been working with Zooomr, and that really sucked, but now it’s back! It’s really easy to use, just drag and drop. After dragging and dropping your bunches of pictures, you can right click to edit the properties and in one step edit the Title, description, and tags. After that just click on upload. Of course, before all that, you need to…
