I am a mathematician by profession and quite a long-time (since around 1995 - as of now [2012], this means almost half of my life) TeX user by hobby.
I started with plain TeX, and much later (in the early 2000s) moved to LaTeX; I still use plain TeX occasionally (and when writing LaTeX classes/packages). Quite recently I also started to use ConTeXt.
I have a blog about (among others) TeX and friends, located at http://mbork.pl/Content_AND_Presentation.

What is the most bizarre thing you have seen done with TeX @Speravir: I'm not sure about the "spirit of the question", but for me, using TeX for making a gf regret breaking up definitely counts. |

Creating a mask for printing glossy varnish over images @Nyiti: I'd be surprised if it did leave any such artifacts, but I'm not 100% sure - you'd probably have to check it or ask some pdf expert;). |

varioref: \vref or \vpageref at page boundary (may loop) @Kurt: maybe, I could, I'm not sure - that's a bit of low-level hacking. I would gladly try, however, unfortunately I don't have enough time now... If nobody dares to do it, maybe I'll try in a few weeks. |

Creating a mask for printing glossy varnish over images microtype now reportedly works with LuaLaTeX. Yay! |

varioref: \vref or \vpageref at page boundary (may loop) Actually, it should be doable to have a "compile count", incremented after each run, and put in the aux file. After, say, 5-6 compilations, varioref should fall back to something "safe" (like \ref/\pageref). Of course, the counter should be resetted after any change - but this could be doable by reading in \jobname.tex and doing some kind of a checksum (which could also be put in the .aux file). |

compiling pdflatex from the terminal in vim A (maybe not-so-)stupid question: the graphic file doesn't have the same basename, differing from the LaTeX file only by the extension, does it? If yes, every second compilation will fail... |

Commenting out large sections Actually, <kbd>M-;</kbd> is even better (less keystrokes), and more intelligent (it does different things depending on e.g. whether region is active or not). |

Which is the most suitable ultra-portable device for full LaTeX functionality? I'm using a HP netbook and it's slow, but otherwise fine. I probably wouldn't install LaTeX on an Android phone, though, and do not have any experience with tablets. |

Conference Announcement Poster I'd probably use sans-serif font, and even if I chose serif one, definitely not Computer Modern. |

Can PGF plot the integral of any specified function? Or luatex, though it might be reinventing the wheel... |

Add \par only if last paragraph did not end with displayed math Just thinking... What about \everydisplay setting something, \everypar resetting that (so that you can detect whether a paragraph contained a display anywhere)? Then you only have to know whether it was the last thing. And maybe (maybe?) this can be detected by comparing \prevgraf at the beginning of the (last) display in the paragraph and at the end of the paragraph - if the difference is 3, the display was the last thing. Of course, this would need to tinker with \everypar, probably also \par - but something like this might work. |
