 There are a bunch of [posts](https://blog.dbrgn.ch/2017/9/5/creating-custom-ts100-logo-with-gimp/) online about how to add a custom bootscreen to a TS100 soldering iron. These things are great, if you get a little USB-C to jack adapter you can run them off a powerbank and they're tiny so you can keep them with you wherever you go. Which of course you should. 
 
 I did have some trouble getting the image into the write format though, after messing around a little I settled on this command using ImageMagick:

 I wanted my thesis to have a nice HTML version in addition to the mandatory-in-my-field latex/PDF version. Having a HTML version also means I can experiment with a bit of interactivity. I've done some of the diagrams in SVG using Inkscape which is a nice tool for this kind of thing. I wanted to add some interactivity as an easter egg to the SVGs in the HTML version.

 Like many nerdy, computery types, I like to subscribe to blogs and other content through RSS. RSS is crazy simple, you host a url on a website with a list of posts with titles/URLs/content encoded in XML (I know I know but it only have like 5 tags and is only nested one level deep.) An RSS reader just checks a big list of those URLs every now and then and presents you the latest thing to show up.
