The timing isn't great for me to show anything, but I'm working on a UI framework that is exclusively vector graphics based. A few of the interesting things that I've come up with so far are: screenshots can be exported as SVG files rather than bitmaps; a lightweight remote graphics protocol is possible thanks to the desktop being described as a scene graph; apps can easily scale to any DPI/resolution; new and interesting widgets and app designs are possible - pie menus and the like.

Unfortunately the GitHub build is currently broken and I'm probably 2 months away from sharing anything here. I'll post something when it's more presentable.

I met a programmer many years back who had previously been a physicist at CERN. I'd never have guessed but I think he picked up the programming bug there. If you think coding is your thing then go for it and all the best to you!

Magnesium supplements did it for me. I needed to take them for an unrelated reason - eye tremors - and the first time I took them I was suddenly overcome with tiredness that night. I've been taking them ever since to keep my sleep regulated, and they've really helped with my alertness during the day.
