OK, so I caved in and got an iPhone 3G S approximately half-a-day after it was released and not before bitching up a storm on Twitter about o2's upgrade policies (I finally ponied up for the pay-as-you-go version which means that I'm approximately £450 poorer now and will be living on beans for the rest of the month!) But you know what? It's totally worth it because with the iPhone 3G S I've found the ultimate video blogging tool that I'd been searching for for ages.

Now that I'm back from SWSX, somewhat over my jetlag, and BarcampBrighton2 is over, I'm looking forward to a few weeks of productive work in Brighton.

I was trying to play a YouTube video on a Mac and wasn't getting any sound. After Googling around, I found that I wasn't the only one running into this problem and that the solution is to trash your Flash Player preferences under the ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder.

[Update] After trashing preferences, the video was still stuttering. Apparently the problem was with the Flip4Mac WMV Internet plug-in. The solution was to disable it from System Preferences.
