My garden and Cherry blossom trees
Written by: OG Jappleng
This is the first fall where I can happily say that I have a house and lot, and there's a lot of work that has to be put into fixing the house and making the property shine. With about 5 acres of land, there's a lot to consider but it's very bare. There are two things that I'm working on and that's a Garden and planting trees.

Cherry Blossom Trees
I love cherry blossom trees, they are really pretty but there are also a lot of different varieties. I can only name 5 varieties by looking at the tree but I'm only new to this.  The ones that I'm familiar could survive a winter freeze. Here's an image containing 13 different kinds of Cherry...

Status update on my life and when I'm coming back
Written by: OG Jappleng
Hi everyone! I bet you are excited to find out when I'm coming back and I'll explain this in this post the best I can.

First, what is going on?
I ran out of funds and couldn't work on Jappleng anymore.  I thought it would be easy-peasy to find people interested in this project but that wasn't the case. I did figure out how to make Jappleng more appealing and more fun for everyone but it will take time which I no longer have because...

Why did I run out of time?
I ran out of time because I started to get a few people interested in what I can do, and because of that I decided to start my own company...

This Blog is for the random part of me
Written by: OG Jappleng
Hello Japplengers! This is the first post for this new Blog, which is different than my other blog over at Jappleng's Official Blog which is about the development of Jappleng.

This blog is different as it's my own personal blog with no real meaning behind it. I can talk about my day, the things I experience, and just about anything, really. I'd like to talk about some neat things that will be interesting to read so I won't be writing it as a diary of sorts.

Please enjoy this blog and make sure to follow!

I saved a random snake a few days ago
Written by: OG Jappleng
A few days ago I saved a snake after it had gotten caught in a garden net.  It was stuck there for over a day and I thought it had died but upon poking it with my foot, it still moved. So.... Being that it wasn't a poisonous snake and in fact it is known to eat poisonous snakes (cannibalism?) I decided to rescue it, sort of.

The snake was annoyingly tangled in a brand new net, so there were only two ways to get it out. I could either decapitate it into small pieces and pull it through the holes or I could rescue it. There was also the option of leaving it for nature to take care of it of course. I chose to rescue it because well, I felt bad for...

The Story of Jappleng Part V
Written by: OG Jappleng
Gone State-Side and back to Jappleng
By now it would have been wonderful if Jappleng were complete but in reality it wasn't. It takes time, a lot of time and when you're programming several million lines of code on your own, designing, and having to redo a lot of things because it's no longer fashionable for the new year, it's painful. Just the IMChat itself took about a month to complete.

I've been back to the US for about 3-years now, while the first year (almost) was mostly lounging around, the remainder was mostly working on the project for a whopping 17,000hrs+ in total. It may not look like it at first glance but Jappleng is...
