About Myself

I'm also in Second Life, Kitely, Alternate Metaverse (AMV) and Wolf Territories Grid. :)
(I'm stuck with Jerom in OSgrid)

If you're from SL and call me Jerralyn, welcome. If not and you call me Jerom, I'm okay with that but I prefer Jerralyn. :) Look up the meaning of Jerralyn and you'll understand why. That said...

To extend what my bio says... Formerly an IT employee, now a vixen in SL and Open Sim. LOL...

My Interests

guitar, photography, reading, parks

OpenSimulator Version

I don't run a OS server (yet)

Viewer Version

Latest versions of these viewers, preferably in Linux:
1) Firestorm
2) Cool VL Viewer

Hardware

Some humble, hacked up Windows laptop from 2018 that dual boots Win11 and Linux (lubuntu). Not what I'd use for a server running 24/7, but it's pretty cool for desktop/workstation duty, having 2 SSD's and 32 GB system RAM on board. :) And it's portable, ha.

Activity

Wasn't in the mood for line dancing... but... this was too fun to pass up for a few minutes!

(All after about another hour spent trimming more 'fat' from my OSgrid avi... loads faster for me now...)

:) Hung for a bit at Xenovar. :) :) :) :)

Will go back later to trim more fat from my OSgrid account.

Meanwhile, come on Fred, Wilma left ya! Haha... 😂

test post... friends, let me know if you can read this. hopefully this posts and sticks...

I tapped an alt to experiment with the Open Sim take on Reborn... I have tested Reborn in SL via demos (also with an alt), and I don't recall it cracking 300k in the complexity rating. So... Ok, great for photos, but I'd pass on it if you want to go clubbing on the dance floor, especially a crowded one. Most people won't be able to see your Reborn creations... you will be a gray doll to many. For now, it's best to stick with Decadence, Athena or one of the curvy Ruth2 mods.

(BTW, this ensemble is 600,000 on the complexity scale!)
Yay, here I am at Paris in AMV! Took me a bit of time last night to settle on a basic look. I'm sporting the Athena body with the Lelutka Erin head, same as my OSgrid avi, but lighter skin. I've also tried to add a bit more thickness to her compared to the other one.

I'd love to age myself a bit more here. That's not a typo! Is there a good store in Open Sim that has aged body skins? I have tried out the aged face skins from the BoM pack and they do work well, but I could use some body freckles and veins for a more convincing aged look. Not too old, let's say 45-55, basically my age group IRL.

TIA :)
Yeah, I'm in... For those of you in SL... I'm just saying, if the upcoming NUX avatars don't look this good, I think Open Sim wins LOL...

This is excellent for a starter avi! However, too tall for my taste by a foot. Plus I need my BoM skins, makeup and tattoos. This isn't BoM but it could be transferred to a newer Athena 6 body if desired. At the very least I'll transfer this outfit to my shorty from OSgrid, once I have her built in AMV. Cataplexia Numbers has done a great job with the starter looks!

Off to work on adding my OSgrid favorites here in AMV. See ya later!

ETA @ 14:25 SLT : New Firestorm viewer just dropped today, 6.6.8. Try it soon.
I can't hold it in anymore...

IAR issues aside, I'm choosing Alternate Metaverse as my new second home in Open Sim!!!

Spent last evening researching several HG's... including several recommendations given to me via PM. I chose AMV as it has some incredible places within its HG. I also chose it as the HG owners have extensive SL and Open Sim experience, a huge plus in my book.

After dinner tonight, I'll be copying a few bits of info from one of my OSgrid avis, and picking up some clothes and bodies from the AviWorlds mall. Yes... I will begin with an Athena based body with the Lelutka Erin head as that's the figure I use the most in OSgrid (and Open Sim in general).

No worries, Ruth2 fans! Because this is a new start of sorts I also plan on creating a Ruth2 based avi or two on AMV. I'm already working on one with my Kitely account. I want to use the LuvMyBod and Diana bodies from Hyacinth... but we'll see, I did manage an Athena like take recently with the Ruth2 BoM... see my previous post here with D*ffy Du*k.

I'll keep OSgrid around as a last resort... and because that HG does have some great sims as well. I love some of the space and jungle sims in it.

Thanks to everyone who recommended a few places, can't wait to get going on AMV. :D
ETA: Spax Orion mentioned something to me in the comments section of his recent post... I likely will need permission from a OSgrid region operator... in that case... I'll probably rebuild things slowly instead. As it is I have lots of photos of my favorite outfits from OSgrid (and Kitely), much more than whatever I have posted online. I'll be okay with this, not a problem. I can always pick three or four looks and redo them quickly enough. Not hard really. I'll just keep looking at a few more sims and see which one would suit me. Any sim that has a Suitcase in the inventory and is good about backups, griefer issues, customer support and fault tolerance should do.

Well, here I go... I'll have to see if I can pull off a IAR (inventory backup) run in OSgrid... need to read more documentation and maybe the OSgrid forums before attempting.

Here's the current version from the OS archives if you're curious: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/IAR_Format_0.3

I plan on importing as much as I can of my OSGrid identity somewhere else. My first choice is Alternate Metaverse, DigiWorldz is my second; I'm looking at a few more sims before I settle on my next, official second account. I won't send it to Kitely as I want to keep that account as lean and mean as I can, even though I've chosen it now as my main Open Sim account.

I may be overthinking my actions here, but I'm sick and tired of the file corruption issues I put up with when TPing with my OSgrid account. That account won't go away. I'll keep it around for testing purposes.

Okay, enough talk, time for me to eat dinner then I'll see what can be done. Carry on!
Here we are... my Ruth2 avi in Kitely that has similar body dimensions to my Athena body, especially the one that uses the Lelutka Erin head. It measures 5.33 feet\1.625 meters.

I'm getting there, still a work in progress. :)

This is consistent with the casual look I sport in Open Sim and Second Life, so it's something I can enjoy. Next time... I'll try to put together something business oriented... then fantasy... a gown... in due time. ^_^

HIII... just hi :)

(I need to add more clothes into my Kitely self... I generally have better uptime with myself on Kitely VS OSgrid... see ya!)

I'll be out for a bit... some of you who follow me on twitter, MeWe, facebook and newTumbl already know this, but I'm in the midst of packing boxes and cleaning up IRL before moving. I'll be in NY state briefly with relatives. They are assisting with my search for a new home. I should be back on sometime after Easter Sunday. Take care! ^_^

I'm on Kitely now as Jerralyn Franzic. See ya later! ^_^

Goshdarnit... I am getting more RL stuff done (and hanging out more in SL), but I want to get back on Open Sim. My account right now is on OSgrid. Is it actually possible to copy/transfer my assets from OSgrid to another provider, like Kitely? Or am I starting from scratch if I choose to have a backup account? Please advise.

I'll come back later after dinner to check responses.

Chubelz_Weihnachtsmarkt

So sweet... had a fun time. ^_^ I shall return soon... A snapshot of me: https://gyazo.com/ac4058e24f49cdc31008f80cce5eb527

Funland

Thanks for putting this up! Very wholesome (in spite of the Adult rating), and no requirement to enter with a system avi, yaay! (No disrespect to D*mayland BTW, great place too but the rhetoric there gets too heavy handed at times... sometimes pure, unadulterated fun is the best.)

Vesti

I love the clothes here! Great site to visit, I pick up clothes for Xara and Simona/Athena. Never a dull moment whenever I visit.

Mexico Lindo

Great avatars! It's hard to pick just one to play with... :D

Valeria's Avatars 2

The avatars are awesome to behold! I'll admit, once I add them to my inventory I try to wear the clothes for myself, rather than walking around as the avatars taken. In any case, these are fun to have around and I can't say enough about how much work Valeria puts into crafting them.

Dyvalls Shopping Fun

Nice to see you back! Dropped by and picked up a few items. Well worth a look. :)

Glimmerwind

6 months later... still can't TP to the joint! Help please? Tried to access via Kitely.

The Cedars

Met the owner while I was at the WTG Sandbox. Fun store... found a few outfits I didn't have previously. There are a few hideaway spots nearby, perfect for relaxing once you're done shopping. :)

ShapeShifter

Lovely to see Ringtail's vision in Open Sim. Just as spectacular as his SL installations. There's beauty in the grayness of it all... ^_^

Zweet ZurroundingZ

I can't improve upon the other reviews already posted... it's all of that and more! Perfect for those of us who enjoy taking virtual photos. :) I haven't seen the SL original, but I bet this take is much better.
