The CK Daily – Clouds & Catch-Ups

Good morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a great start to this rainy week!

I’m loving the lower temperatures that we’ve been enjoying in Georgia the past few days but am really sick of the rain and clouds!

Aside from dodging raindrops, it was a great weekend for me! A few of us who grew up together in my old neighborhood planned a little reunion, and it ended up being so much fun. I feel incredibly grateful to have grown up in the ’90s—back when life felt simpler and technology hadn’t completely taken over. My neighborhood was packed with kids, and we practically lived outside. We’d spend hours exploring the woods, hanging at the pool, or playing pickup baseball in the yard until the sun went down. It really was such a sweet time to grow up, and I’m so thankful for the friendships that came from those years.

A handful of us decided to get together for a little “reunion” at Topgolf which was an absolute blast! We had lots of laughs and really enjoyed catching up with each other! We’re hoping to make it a more regular thing!

Here’s your sign to be intentional about meeting up with old friends! Life gets busy, but reconnecting is worth it!

Learning Center Article – What is CAT6A and How Is It Being Used Today?

When cost and performance are used to select a cable, most network engineers try to stuff as much Ethernet into their system as they can. Ethernet tends to be the more affordable, reliable way to keep devices in communication and fulfill a network’s needs. One of the reasons Ethernet is still able to fill these roles with modern data demands is because newer, more powerful cables are available. While Cat6A is neither the newest nor most advanced Ethernet on the market today, it is a staple in the industry and services a wide range of networks.

The CK Daily – A Sweet Start to the School Year

Happy Monday!

We officially made it to the first day of school! Friday was the big day for our girls, and they were all smiles when they got home. They had a great first day and are excited for what the new school year will bring. To celebrate, we took them out for some frozen yogurt at their favorite spot and got to hear all about their new teachers, classrooms, and friends. It’s always fun hearing the little details they decide to share.

Saturday, I got to sneak in some Pokémon time at a local game store I don’t usually go to. Met some new folks and had a good time playing. Always cool to find a new community of players and mix it up a bit.

The weather’s finally cooled off a little here in Georgia, which has been nice! It’s been non-stop rainy and dreary though. But honestly, I’ll take the gray skies over the blazing heat any day. There’s something about the rain that makes things feel a bit more calm—perfect excuse to stay inside and slow down a bit.

Sunday was a good reset day. We went to church, got some cleaning done around the house, and just took it easy the rest of the day.

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

The CK Daily – Chest pains and Ambulance Rides

Well, this past weekend was eventful — and not in the “fun getaway” kind of way. I ended up in the ER with chest pain, which, let me tell you, is a fast pass to all kinds of medical attention. After a series of tests, scans, and the general chaos of a hospital trip, a heart attack was ruled out they found a blood clot!

So now I’m on blood thinners, specifically Eliquis which apparently is “The Cadillac of blood thinners”, and have an appointment with a cardiologist and hematologist this week. In the meantime, I’m trying to avoid paper cuts and sharp corners. 😉

I always say getting older is a barrel of fun — but this weekend, the barrel rolled downhill and took me with it. haha

In all seriousness, I’m grateful it was caught early, that I’m okay, and that we have incredible medical professionals who do this stuff every day. If you’ve been putting off that checkup — let this be your nudge.

Life is short. Take care of yourself!

Learning Center Article – MPO/MTP Cables, MPO Cassettes, & Fiber Patch Panels

The number of network connections and the quantity of data transmitted worldwide is rising rapidly and growing exponentially. And so is the importance of cable management. Not only does proper and efficient cable management help maintain basic network functionality, it also protects your equipment from clogged airflow as a result of having unorganized cables. Three important components of a well-run network facility are MPO / MTP cables, MPO cassettes, and fiber patch panels.
