Ok, Dee was playing 80's game, so happened to have laptop

Only quick and dirty, so excuse the lack of comments.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import urllib2, smtplib

def mail(serverURL=None, sender='', to='', subject='', text=''):
    """
    Usage:
    mail('somemailserver.com', 'me@example.com', 'someone@example.com', 'test', 'This is a test')
    """
    headers = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n" % (sender, to, subject)
    message = headers + text
    mailServer = smtplib.SMTP(serverURL)
    mailServer.sendmail(sender, to, message)
    mailServer.quit()


baseurl = 'http://www.cokezone.co.uk/home/catalogue/reward/prod1020003/Xbox/200+Points+for+Xbox+Live'
page = urllib2.urlopen(baseurl)
source = page.read()
if 'soldout' in source:
  print 'Still none...'
else:
  mail('my.mail.server', 'me@me.com', ['me:me.com'], 'CokeZone MS Points', 'Cokezone has points, go go go!')
  print 'Found some! Emailed.'

Clever! I understand the basics of the script but I could never write anything like that myself. I'll just rely on checking the page as often as I remember

Real geeks don't need comments.

Until, that is, they get a few million lines of code dumped on them and told to maintain it, as has happened to the team I work with.

Well, there are some comments, but they're in Russian.

A client of ours were once upon a time trying to install a new erp system, but the database schema and accompanying docs were in German. Though I'll admit I know more of German than I do Russian

Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box and Trivial Pursuit for £15.99. Seems a good deal to me

Ooooh sounds like a bargain to me, cheers for the heads up.
