 \begin{thanks}
 
-\todo[inline]{TODO}
+Before you lies the work of many long days and sleepless nights, the result of years of study and planning. This work is released to the commons as a payback for the many open-source projects that allowed it to become what it has.
+
+My thanks go to my tutors for the knowledge, and to my friends for the encouragement to pull this off and create something I can be proud of. 
+
+\noindent
+Special thanks go to:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Annie, for showing me Draw.io, and its developers, for building a great and free diagram drawing tool.
+\item Beatrix, for keeping a friendly server to hang out on in the breaks between writing.
+\item Cpsdqs, who helped with proofreading.
+\item TeXstudio developers, the tex.stackexchange community, and CTAN contributors, without whom this paper would have been much harder to write.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\noindent
+\textbf{May the project prosper and be helpful to many.}
 
 \end{thanks}
