those big complex bits cut down on the amount of code needed to achieve 
a given task. :-)

yes, was supposed to be a quick experiment to test idea ;)

I don't know anything about these tools, I use Kate as my editor for my 
programming. I usually give a new number to separate versions, I'm sure 
there are better ways, I just haven't gone looking for them yet. Idle 
only looks useful for CLI stuff.

I have had little trouble with Internode over the last 13 years or so. 
The other day is the first time I had a really slow download, went to 
another mirror in Western Australia, and all went as fast as I'm 
supposed to get (I have the slowest option of NBN, ( bronze 100) which I 
have never NEEDED extra bandwidth, it might be nice, but I don't use the 
sort of service which depends on good bandwidth, downloads can go all 
night for all I care). I'm not greedy though it's all very fast compared 
to dial up, or packet radio

I search with DuckDuckGo, and rarely have any response issue with my 
searches. I don't think they sell my search data.

Your connection is a bit faster than mine.
I've not experienced any speed issues with the email server.
