Today marks not the first day of my internship at Tipper Tie, but the first one to be recorded in this blog. I have been working at Tipper Tie as an Information Technology intern for over a month now, and it has been quite the experience. Tipper Tie is an international manufacturing company that creates products that are used to process and package everything from consumables to infrastructure management solutions. I work directly with Andrew Bartow, the Senior IT Engineer, and Keith Phillips, the Network Administrator. In that time I've assisted with a number of different activities ranging from fulfilling Help Desk Service Requests to using Cisco WebEx conferencing to configure a Linux server for the Call Manager application for the company phone system. It is my hope that this blog will give you insight into the challenging but rewarding experiences that Tipper Tie presents me with.
