My thesis:

It was about a program I wrote, a maemo statusban plugin, the documentetion and the process I took.  That time I thought that GTK is going down and I my knowledge in it is going to be obsolete soon. But I doubted that at the and of the Uni even with 1-2 years of working experience in the field, one can make some significant research with usable output. So I wrote a small applet and used all my knowledge and help of my friends and ex-colleges I gained.

I got ~1.600 downloads, well, I think it was a success. Other than me and my consultant, I don't thing anyone has ever read my thesis...
