Exclusive images of new Samsung Galaxy S5 logo leaked. Just came across a link to a blog post with photos of the supposed casing to the iPhone 6. Whoopeedee. Don’t get me wrong here. This isn’t a rant about the presumably forthcoming iPhone 6. It’s an “I think we have overdosed on new phone introductions” rant. […]

Took the Docklands Light Railway from Bank to London City Airport. Used the DLR many times before to go to Telecity but this may have been my first time on the Woolwich Arsenal branch. It’s also the first time I’ve ever given any thought to the area. Boy is it bleak. We are talking New […]
Remarkably relaxed sat in the bar after security at London City Airport. It’s curling on the telly, cmon girls, a cup of tea in front of me (ye-es) and a stress free experience getting here. The weather hasn’t yet hit and it looks as if all the planes are running to time. I have 3 […]

I’ve done most of my jobs. Stuff taken to tip, wood piled up “neatly” at bottom of garden, Kid 4’s bag emptied after skiing holiday (that one was worth a few brownie points I’ll tell you), roast beef prep done with veg peeled etc, broken light bulbs replaced. I’m sure there was more. It felt […]
Manx Telecom broadband Was chatting about broadband to a neighbour of my Mam and Dad in the pub near their house this weekend. He has to ration the use of the internet between his kids who all want it for different applications at the same time – Xbox Live, iPlayer etc. Unfortunately Manx Telecom still […]
Hard to believe but exactly five years ago today I posted my first blog piece on trefor.net. It coincides very closely with my fifth anniversary on Twitter. Since then I’ve written 1,616 posts – also hard to believe. 30,517 tweets in that time. I’m not going to dwell on the interim five years. The world […]
One of my beefs with Apple has been that you have to give them your credit card details when setting up an iTunes account. For the uninitiated, the independent of mind majority, you need to sign up to iTunes to be able to download apps onto your iPad/Pod/Phone, even if the apps themselves are free. […]
Just visiting my folks on the Isle of Man for the weekend and mam showed me a letter I’d written to dad dated 2nd March 1975. We were in the process of moving to the island from Caernarfon. Dad had gone on ahead whilst we finished the school term. The letter was written in formal […]
Holidays are greatly helped by nice weather. This has been a typical week in April in the British Isles. Sunshine and showers. Bathed in sunshine Peel is a lovely place to stroll around. I have been up at around 6am every day to go down to my favourite spot on Fenella Beach. It’s rare to […]
In a dramatic statement made after hours1 last night Apple announced a complete re-branding exercise under the new name “Kumquat”. “The Apple brand has served us well and has made us the unbelievably big global giant we are today” says CEO Tim Cook. However with Steve Jobs no longer around, the share price at over […]
I, Trefor Davies, being of sound mind and disposition, hereby declare that I have deleted the Foursquare app from my Samsung Galaxy S2 and intend to take no further active role with said location based social media platform. This act, performed arguably whilst I was on a roll – ranking 4th amongst my contemporaries and […]

Phishing – direct mail style
Just received my first ever phishing attempt via direct mail! With a second class stamp on it:) The only means of contact are a ymail address and two Chinese telephone numbers, one of which is a fax line. The funny thing is if I had received this letter ten years ago I might not have been […]
Last week as the Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry approached Douglas harbour I “checked in” on Foursquare to a location called the “Sea Terminal”. I also uploaded a lovely picture of the watery reflections of the multicolour harbour lights. Beautiful it was. Then as I got into the car to drive off the ferry […]
I’m on holiday this week but in the interest of keeping the momentum going on the blog it is worth posting some relevant collateral. You will have to scroll down to the bottom to get the association with technology. The video below was taken on Saturday at the breakwater in Peel in the Isle of Man […]
