Hahahaha, I've definitely had moments where I've stared at code for ages... left it for a bit, and then found my error within a second of opening it again.
Yeah, AWS is really confusing.. I just tried it because it came up as free, but I think it's also trying to get me to pay $5 a month... so yeah, it's a bit odd..... but if there's a simpler low cost 24/7 option then that would be amazing.
I know I'm asking a lot for a tutorial specifically for what I'm interested in, but I hope it'll tie into your bot series nicely for others too. I really do appreciate how amazingly responsive you've been... you're pretty much the best.
