What better birthday gift could my dear co-host Wess ask for than an appearance in DC’s Adventures of Superman? Yes the above picture is not photoshopped, issue #648 features a cell with a trio of podcast loving metropolis thugs sporting none other than CommandN, TWiT, and Hak.5 attire. For those counting this is the second to the last issue of Adventures of Superman before the conclusion of the Infinite Crisis storyline. Issue #650 the comic will be renamed to just “Superman”. It is quite amazing to be featured in the 67 year running comic book of the super hero legend. Hats off to our DC admirer.

Tonight we wrapped up shooting of episode 7 and post production is well underway. As always we’re excited about the release next week, as well as some spiffy announcements to come .

Great news everyone, after searching nearly everywhere on the Internet we have finally found a suitable host for our video files. The best part is you can now subscribe to Hak.5 on iTunes!

This also means that the RSS feeds have changed. If you are subscribed to the H.264 torrent/direct or the Xvid torrent/direct please update your podcatching application by using the new feed links on the top left of the page.

Hopefully this will be the last time the feeds change since we’re using feedburner now. If you had trouble subscribing to the feeds before (we had some complaints about podcatching apps trying to download the .php file) try again now and let us know your experience.

And finally I would like to say hello to all the new viewers who have found us from Call for Help. It was a blast being on CFH and I hope you all enjoy Hak.5.

In this episode of Hak.5 Jon brings us a coding challenge, Wess builds a laser audio transmitter for his iPod, Harrison shows us why we should get to know our network neighbors better, and Darren remotely installs VNC with a command line gem. Plus the conclusion to last month’s chilling cliff-hanger and guest appearances by Leo Laporte, Amber MacArthur, Mike Lazazzera, and Frank Linhares.

Episode 6 is well on its way to release. We are planning on releasing no later than (6PM EST / 11PM GMT). Possibly sooner, latest news will be in the IRC channel. We have done minimum configuration of our new dedicated server and hopefully today’s first test of its capabilities will go well. If your direct download experience is sub par please let us know by comment or email. We will probably use the current bit-torrent tracker but that will soon change, along with nice new RSS feeds for iTunes subscriptions.

While you’re waiting for episode 6 you may want to check out some CES footage from our friends at Labrats and WASD.tv.

Remember, as always the pre and post launch party will be in #hak5 on irc.techphile.ca. Supposedly there is a team-speak party brewing which we may make an appearance on as well. Should be a riot.
