[ale] hak5 stuff - was pauldotcom.com NOT

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi JD,

I "think" it was task-spooler that I heard about.  Gonna have to investigate ways to automatically download the media files in the hak5 rss feed.  Richard suggested bashpodder, so that might be an option.  Then, I'll have to look into one of the things which has been suggested to extract the audio into an mp3.

Sincerely,

Ron
