Episode 3 – Production Notes 3
Another batch of great news. First, Wess and I will be on the Techphile podcast on September 25th so be sure to check that out. We recorded the interview last Sunday and it was a blast. Frank is an awesome tech podcaster on the same playing field as Leo Laporte. He is also responsible for the Toronto Tech Meetup a few months back that featured much of the old TechTV crew like Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, Dan Huard, and most of the other people we give //Mad Props to in our episodes. Pictures of that event can be found at Bamcat’s Flickr. Now we’re excited about the recently announced Toronto Tech Meetup 2.0 Second Edition++, or whatever it’ll be called. No dates are final yet, but it should be this December and most of the Hak.5 crew will be there.
Also big news, we’ve finally updated the cast page so if you’re curious about who Hak.5 is you might want to check that out.
As far as production is concerned we’re about 70% done shooting Ep3. There were two segments that were shot and later re-shot and I’m glad we did as the production quality of the second shoots are so much better than anything we’ve ever released. Now for the pictures:
Alli’s new segment is amazing. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. She has so much more life and energy. What were we ever thinking asking her to do Chicks with Tips?
Harrison and I had a great time shooting the on-location portion of this segment.
What’s Black and Blue and operates at 2.4 GHz?
Setting up our RSS feeds with Broadcast Machine is going well. Soon we’ll have 4 feeds to choose from; an xvid direct download, xvid bit torrent, h.264 direct download, and h.264 bit torrent. Unless I’m doing something completely wrong and there is a way to get all of those into one feed and have podcatching applications understand which to download. I’ll have to play with it a little more.
Thanks for all of the feedback and taking the time to answer the polls, it’s really helping us make this show better. And if you haven’t already seen the forums you should take a peak, so drop by and say hello.

Looking good so far guys/girl!! I have been having technical difficulties with both my camera’s recently. I think i managed to fix one of them but gotta send the other back to Canon!! I hope you are gonna start working on a show twice a month or every 3 weeks…???

Good luck getting your camera issues straightened out. I look forward to the first official release of AlmostAGeek.
We *could* do an episode every 3 weeks or twice a month, but the crew would KILL ME! Stay tuned, we’ll probably start releasing little segments throughout the month to keep you guys interested between shows. Anyway, “Hak.5 every 5th” sounds cooler than “Hak.5 on the 5th and 25th”

Hak.5
You could always do Hak 5 on the 5’s, 5th, 15th & the 25th. Oh common, ya know ya want to
Hak.5 three times a month, and even I’d kill him. Speaking of killing Darren, where the hell are my pics? I’m going to have to beat you up with bread again. Sonofa…

Well your beating the hell out of Systm by actually releasing some content.
