Hello! I'm Ed Jinxing.

I've been a rezz-ident of Second Life since September 2006, and kicked off the 2008 New Year as a volunteer to the Second Life Mentor program.

My mentoring style is more of a roving knights-errant, giving aid as needed in whatever sim I may be in. You will most often see me in-world as the Big Black Wolf with Green Glasses, although I sometimes shape-shift into the more recognizably "human" cybernations seen below.

In RL I'm a graphic artist, writer, and perpetual student. For better or worse, I also have the experiences and baggage of the Baby Boom generation. (Recently I initiated the Second Life in AARP Group: [1]) All of this comes tumbling with me into SL as well. Maybe I can be a good resource for you in more ways than one.

English is my first language, and I'm always seeking to increase my building and LSL Scripting skills. I make silly little accessories for my avies -- a fire hydrant to pee on when I'm a dog, a lighted headlamp and walking stick for exploring, and maybe a few other things not to be mentioned in mixed company, heh heh...

Certainly there is so much in RL and SL I don't know, so I strive to learn something new. After nearly two years in-world, I'm just barely scratching the surface in scripting my creations. And there are so many sims I have yet to explore.

But do you need help in customizing your avatars, or smoothly switching among them?

Making and uploading new textures?

Keeping your vast inventory of freebie junk under control?

Well, if you think I might be able to help you, please send me an IM.
