Well as this semester is wrapping up, I just wanted to write a reflection of my time at Reclaim Hosting. It's really weird to talk about as the last weeks of my undergraduate finishing up. It still hasn't officially hit me yet that I'm graduating in May. But things are finalizing all over the place, I just had my last classes and I've got a job lined up! I've officially accepted a position to stay on the team at Reclaim! I start in June, so I have a little time to enjoy my summer and it will be exciting to move back up to Fredericksburg.

Well I've been at Reclaim for 6 weeks now! I can't even believe it, it feels like I've been there for months. I'm really enjoying my work and I'm definitely getting the hang of things when answering support tickets. I still ask Tim a ton of questions throughout the day because there is just so much to learn.

I've had a couple of tickets where clients needed help with two applications that have access to the file manager: Omeka and Drupal. So I decided I would set up my own subdomains for each application and learn...Read More

These past two weeks have flown by! I've just completed week three at Reclaim Hosting and I have to say it's been really enjoyable. Things on support tend to be a little slow while I'm working which is good and bad. Good because that means things are running smoothly for clients but also bad because that means I don't have much to do! I'm still in the learning phase for sure but I'm getting the hang of things. This week I was able to solve a few tickets on my own! So in this post, I wanted to talk about...Read More
