Please bear with us as we revamp the site. We’ll be making major updates to the cast and episodes pages shortly. And hopefully the new design will allow us to cover the costs of hosting and equiptment. Shoot us an email if you have questions, comments, or suggestions.

EDIT: Welcome Slashdotters. Good news Hak.5 fans, we’ve worked out a deal with an ISP that will be providing us with the terabytes of bandwidth we need to continue the show. And as many of you have asked, yes, this means we will be doing iTunes shortly. We just finished shooting a mod segment for episode 3 and we’ll have production notes online tomorrow. Many more great announcements coming as well. So again, welcome slashdotters, check out the episodes page, and hopefully the server won’t melt!

EDIT (again): I’ve installed the WP-Cache 2.0 plugin and everything seems smooth now. Maybe we won’t melt after all.

Thanks,

First off, thanks go out to everyone who watched the show and provided such awesome feedback. We are thrilled that everyone enjoyed the show, which gives us a ton of energy for the next episode. Thank you so much for everyone who is seeding the bit torrent file, which helps tremendously. And everyone who provided mirrors, you rule!

I know that at least a handful of people are having problems playing the h.264 version, mainly on mac with quicktime. If VLC, Mplayer, etc aren’t working for you please let us know. We’re trying to find the perfect codec for everyone. Until then I’ve added a Quicktime version of episode 2. You can find the links on the episodes page.

In this episode of Hak.5 we show you how to install a 12-volt accessory outlet in your case, add a webcam to the light script, keep your taskbar clean with a free utility, manage the Windows XP firewall from the command line, create a leet external hard drive case, and install a unix-like disk image over a network. Plus a special interview with an Internet Icon.

Wow, I can’t believe we’re still working on the show. Between taking a week vacation and shooting 4 segments which won’t even make final cut, it’s no wonder I’m up the night before release doing post video. At least everything is on the timeline. Boy I could use a quad-opteron with 4 gigs of ram and 15K RPM SCSIs right about now.

Glue. Our favorite part of the show

Alrighty, that’s all for now. Back to editing.
