worst thing sensory-wise for me in cosplay.
</p>
<p>And, I made a Pip-Boy! Look at it here, it's pretty great!</p>

Anyway, I think that's where I'm leaving it for tonight. It's
11pm, after all. More tomorrow.

+ <p>
+ OK, it's 6pm, there's 3 hours until the Apprentice is on, let's
+ get hacking. The first thing I need to do is, uh... take the
+ thing apart.

+ <p>
+ That's an micro-sd extender cable stringing out of it, there.
+ Nearly everything that makes up the pip-boy is stored on an sd
+ card which is, conveniently, not bolted into the board.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You can open up the thing and take it out, you can copy all of
+ its files over to a folder and, most usefully for us, you can
+ copy those same files over to another, bigger sd card (the one
+ installed is only 250MB) and it works, as long as the card is
+ fat32 formatted.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ I've put a 32GB one in there, which is overkill, but I had it
+ lying around. It also means I can put the entirety of the
+ FO3/4/NV soundtracks on there, if I want. Which, maybe, I do in
+ future! Who knows.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ More importantly, however, that SD card has a USER/ folder where
+ we can drop our own custom javascript files and it'll display
+ them in a nice 'APPS' menu in the INV menu.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We're gonna start with the the helloWorld and graphicsTest files
+ that are currently in the repo. Some file wiggling and inserting
+ and removal of SD cards and bang, there they are!

+ <p>
+ So we want tio draw something to screen that isnt just text,
+ next. So I need to dive into some docs. More updates in a bit...
