Reflecting on My Journey as a Hypergridding "Frontier" Scout

As my Kitely-based avatar teleported into the recent Opensimulator Community Conference 2020, I found myself reflecting on a 2011 Hypergrid Business article, "Curiosity, pioneer spirit drive hypergridders" written by Miriam Pia. At the time, I was hypergrid jumping with fellow members of The Hypergrid Adventurers Club founded by John Lester also known as “Pathfinder Lester”. The Hypergrid Adventurers Club was based in JokaydiaGrid, an Opensimulator-generated virtual world that was focused on education and the arts. It was a group of in-world explorers interested in discussing and exploring 3D immersive virtual worlds on the Hypergrid.
In the article, several quotes from yours truly Sally S. Cherry aka SarVana Cherry in OpenSim and Sally Cherry in Kitely were shared... “At times, I feel like a frontier explorer and I look forward to the day when the exploration glitches will be considered just growing pains,”...“I see hypergrid jumpers as ‘testers for future travelers’ or ‘frontier scouts’ who will enhance the experiences of future jumpers,”... “Thus the main reason for my real life and virtual-based excitement and interest in OpenSim exploration including hypergrid jumping.”
Well, nine years later in the "frontier", I am still excited, interested, and still jumping on the Hypergrid (teleporting). Now in 2020, the "exploration glitches" are few and the experience has indeed been enhanced by a lot of software development and testing. Hence, the "growing pains" were worth every successful teleport made now. The virtual "frontier" is a~m~a~z~i~n~g!!
