Sure thing. This also includes the beamer bit which I used for my defense. It’s all pretty hacky but hope it’s useful!

# Errors aren't handled gracefully (tex doesn't write to stderr, it seems)
# If you encounter errors, use "make verbose"
#
# For small changes (probably those without references), use "make quick"
