I just came across this great resource.  It is full of creative commons media - that's film, audio content and books.  You could download old classic radio episodes and listen to them on your media player.  You can legally download all the media in a variety of formats depending on your connection speed and how much resolution you want.  I suggest you download the MPEG4 file and use VLC or mplayer to watch it.

Ian you should definitely take a look here.  There is a vast range of content so take a look.

Yesterday at 12pm I went to St Mary's Church in East Finchley for the Repose of Alisdair's Soul. I think that it has put (as Alisdair would say) closure on his death. I also think that he would have liked the Latin and ceremony of the Mass.

I just read this article and not that I am in any way pro the Olympics, but I think that it will be good for Southend's ambition to become a top cycling town.  By the way Hadleigh is where we sometime go to see the animals.

My parents received a postcard on Friday from Alisdair - it's only taken about 6 weeks to arrive! Anyway it clearly shows that he was having a fantastic time in Bulgaria and I know it has made everyone feel much better.

I just want to keep this bit of info handy that's why I have put it on my blog - I got it from Jeffrey Veen's blog. It basically tells you all the switches to download a directory (possibly music) from the command line, very simply and stably.

Here's the code, go here to find out what it all means:

wget -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -erobots=off -i ~/mp3blogs.txt
