The CK Daily – Aunt Life
Good morning & happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
I got to have my nieces over for the weekend, which was so much fun, but also exhausting! I don’t get to spend nearly as much time with them as I used to, so I try to make the time we do get special. We did a lot of their favorite things from getting them pink drinks & cake pops at Starbucks to treating them to pedicures and a trip to their favorite store, Five Below! They were definitely living their best lives and I was getting so much joy from watching them have fun!
Unfortunately, I think my niece, Charlotte, ate something that didn’t sit well with her, and she got sick around midnight on Saturday. We were up until nearly 4AM dealing with that. I was hopeful that she’d sleep late but she was up shortly after 7 and was back to feeling great! Needless to say, I’m still trying to catch up on lost sleep!
Wishing you all a fantastic day ahead!
Rebecca

Learning Center Article – ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
When you network devices together, they need ways to communicate, and that communication is managed through the application of protocols. There are plenty of protocols in the world, the most common including TCP and UDP, but those alone can’t cover every basis. It’s important to understand all of the essential protocols, and one that is easily overlooked is ICMP.
