Three things rolled up into one blog entry...

  • IE 9.0 Release Candidate available
  • Finding out how fast your connection is and what ports are being used
  • Partners in Learning links to applications and solutions

Every so often I get asked about where to get music without breaking copyright. Creative Commons tagged music is a good start for me because it tells me immediately what I can do with the music (or video, picture etc) without having to ask the author.

Anyway here are some links to "free" sites. If you have more, please add a comment to this entry. Update:- because of this blog's inbuilt spam filter, posting a comment can sometimes be rejected. The trick appears to be to leave out the http:// part of the url, so just type in www.somewher.com
