We just finished our second production weekend. With just one more segment to shoot the cast is ready to wrap up while I begin the editing marathon. I’m very pleased with the quality of each and every segment in this episode and have to give a huge thanks to the cast and crew for pulling off two very long production weekends. We didn’t skip a beat, even when the police stopped by the studio at 5 AM. Quick tip on that note: Be polite to the officers if they ever find your late night circuit board soldering and prop M16s suspicious.

In other news Jon and Harrison were recently interviewed by Frank Linhares on the Techphile podcast. Grab a copy while it’s hot, and if you missed out on the interview with Darren and Wess it’s also available.

It looks like Harrison is feeding me lines via telepathy

Thanks go out to the hacklings for the continued support and patience as we wrap up another great show. We’re all psyched about this Saturday’s release!

Filming went great yesterday. We turned on the live webcam in the studio, which we may do again. It’ll be on the top left of this page. Unfortunately we were unable to film both the segments we had scheduled, but I’m sure we’ll make up the lost time on Sunday. What we did get however is in my opinion the best 50 second Hak.5 segment we’ve ever produced. And it only took 5 hours to do so.

Jedi Mind Hacking powers won’t help you here Harrison

Back to the grind. Big shout out to all the cool kids in #Hak5 on irc.techphile.ca

So much has happened in the last two weeks since episode 3 release and we’re very happy with where Hak.5 is going. We’ll have some important announcements later this week but first the fun stuff. Hak.5 has a new IRC home over at irc.techphile.ca in #hak5. Big thanks go to Frank Linhares for setting up the IRC server. While your there do a /list as many podcasts and IPTV shows are making a home there.

We’ve just began our episode 4 production weekend. I know, we must be crazy (at least 40% crazy) seeing that episode #1 took almost two months to produce. More updates soon!

Harrison does his security segment without a computer. Three words: Jedi Mind Hacking.

That’s all for now but expect more updates over the weekend.
