2 apps and one FPGA project in 24 hour

Yesterday till today is a busy but fulfilling day for me

after finished appointment with customer way till lunch time yesterday, a few more hours are spent on replying work emails.

anyhow, towards end of the day, i manage to sign and submit 2 of my previously completed BB10 webworks apps and submitted to blackberry vendor portal. 2 tricks that really has been haunting me for the past few days are,
a) we have to select QNX as the platform when we want to target BB10
b) some confusion on how to get the .bar file generated and how to submit it via vendor portal

i seriously think blackberry should improve the documentation, like tutorial step by step video
now this is the best i have found

at night, i brought my kids for shopping. my daughter is having her small birthday party this Sunday
so we let her choose her gift and cake. my son piggy back on it and got a more expensive toy along

by midnight, i started to work on my Xilinx Vivado HLS certification material. i have less than 13 hours, without sleeping, to complete the material. The portion that killed the most time was creating my input c files and the self-checking test bench. i really crack my head and rush with time to come up with an averaging filter design. I have made used of MATLAB to do the modeling and creation of the c code. this is really a new small milestone which i have achieved in less than 24 hour

now, with 2.5 hour more to go for my certification, i can finally relax a bit while waiting.
