Get your questions ready and we’ll see you Saturday!

The past few weeks have been filled with exciting developments and episode 5 production so lets break it down.

I’m very happy to say that the last segment for episode 5 was just shot and edited. The only thing left at this point is the “glue”, which we’re saving for this weekend. We’ll shoot the last bits on Friday the 2nd, finish up the timeline and start up those encoding boxes.

Then Saturday the 3rd we’re hosting the techPhile podcast with Frank Linhares LIVE on the set of Hak.5. Head over to techphile.ca for details.

Of course we release episode 5 on December 5th, so join us in #hak5 on irc.techphile.ca for all the release party shenanigans.

Then we head up to Toronto for the meetup on the 15th. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks let me clarify. Our indefatigable buddy Frank Linhares has organized the TechTV Holiday Meetup. The guest list includes Call for Help, commandN, Security Now, The Lab Rats, techPhile, WASD.tv, Major Geeks, and the PixelCorp’s Alex Lindsay. Registration and more details can be found over at TechTVHolidayMeetup.com.

And now for the screenshots hot off the post production box:

If you look really hard you can see my reflection in the arcade

Harrison is up to no good again…

I’m not sure how either of us kept a straight face through this segment

As you can see the set is really starting to take shape. And for once we’re not squeezed into frame now that we have a nice wide angle lens. And finally, after 5 episodes of complaining we have wireless mics… For half of the segments at least.

In this .5 release, Wess does some research and builds a steady-cam for $13.50. Hooray for no more motion sickness!

Hi hacklings. Tonight I was interviewed about Hak.5 on the Computer America radio show with Carey Holzman. It was a lot of fun and as I promised I now have the audio available for download in both MP3 and OGG for you open source fans. I’ve taken the liberty to cut out all of the commercials so the file is about 33 minutes long. I’ll keep these edited files available unless I hear otherwise from CA. I’d love to hear your feedback on the interview so hit up the forums or leave a comment here.

Tomorrow starts filming for episode 5 so we’re really excited to get infront of, and behind the camera. I’ll have updates on production throughout the month.
