Might sound obvious in hindsight, but _always_ create separate AWS accounts for your different projects.

Doesn't this require separate gmail addresses? If so, then that's an extremely bad idea. I already had one gmail account completely banned with no notice. I wasn't doing anything abusive -- I used it for some npm projects and a github account. Actually, is there a reasonable free gmail alternative for situations like this? I'd like to migrate. FastMail is worth paying for, but it's too expensive for one-off side proj…

AWS accounts require separate email addresses, which may OR MAY NOT happen to be provided by Gmail.

This is quite different in Australia where notaries public are appointed either by the State Supreme Court or by an Archbishop. Almost all of which of which are solicitors or barristers, sometimes retired from practice.

As an Australian, if your workplace has a legal department - make friends with someone there. It can save you a huge headache when you need to do something like apply for a home loan, and need tonnes of notarised papers.

In the US the bank sends a notary free of charge with all your paperwork to sign. What a pain that you don't get this service!
