Email Management and Customer Email Tracking Software

As part of a project I've recently been working on to automate the email handling of a major utility company I've developed a very useful solution for loading emails from a transactional website to Oracle databases. The software allows you to extract text based on keywords from the emails and to load specific text into different fields.

I am available for consultancy to advise on development or implementation of similar Email Management and Customer Email Tracking Software solutions for other companies.

VW Passat Bonnet Latch Failure - Fault on Bonnet Pin

The bonnet latch (hood latch ) on my VW Passat TDI 2007 Mark 6 recently failed. The central locking pin fell out and the bonnet was only secured by the catch. When replaced it was also found that the wiring to the bonnet latch was also virtually worn through and would have broken very soon too.

Is this a general fault on the VW Passat TDI 2007 Mark 6? If your Passat has suffered the same failure then please leave a comment

Volkswagen Golf Mark 4 PD TDI 130 Remap Review

I recently had my Volkswagen Golf Mark 4 PD TDI 130 remapped by Angel Tuning. The difference in the car is amazing, the car is so much more responsive and smooth when driving. The economy is also improved by around 10%. The remap by Angel Tuning is not as aggressive as some remaps although the VW Golf Mark 4 TDI130 remap still increases the output from 130bhp up to 175bhp and seriously increases the performance of the car.

It is a common cliche but the remap really makes it like driving a different car. The engine is far smoother and the acceleration is stunning. Best of all in normal driving on the motorway you are getting up to 60mpg showing on the display. This gives an average MPG of just over 50 for each tank refill that includes some town driving.

In my view the Volkswagen Golf Mark 4 PD TDI 130 is the best Golf that has been made. For the money it is unbeatable; a reliable, comfortable and highly economical car that gives great performance and is a fantastic drive. I can currently see no reason why we would ever want to chaneg this car.

Amy Winehouse Death Video Facebook Scam

As usual with world events that are the latest news, scammers have taken advantage of Amy Winehouse's death to launch multiple scam video links on Facebook.

As with the death of Osama Bin Laden these video links promise pictures of the last moments of Amy Winehouse but in reality are either viruses or scams that will earn money from you clicking the link and will flood your Facebook friends with the link on their profiles.

Don't click the links and if you see a similar link appear on your wall then please delete to prevent it spreading.

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 - 2D or 3D?

Just seen Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 2D having been disappointed with 3D films we've seen recently (Pirates of the Caribbean being one) and feeling that the 3D effect didn't add anything to the film for the extra £10 it costs.

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 was good but we found that in a number of places the 2D picture was fuzzy; whether this was a problem with the cinema projection or some artefact from the 2D/3D conversion process we were unsure. The picture for parts of the 2D Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 did actually look like the 3D version. My 11 year old son also noticed it so it wasn't just me.

The verdict of reviews has been that the 3D version of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2 doesn't add anything to the film and the general dark tones through the film actually makes it very hard to view in 3D so I think we made the right choice seeing the 2D version of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2.
