The CK Daily – Successful Weekend & a Plant Update!
Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Easter. Ours was pretty busy filled with visiting family and enjoying a kids’ musical. For the last 8 weeks or so, my daughter has been practicing Tuesdays after school in an extracurricular program called Dreambox Theatre. Saturday was the performance of her Superhero musical, and she did awesome and remembered all of her lines and choreography. I am very proud of her!
On Easter Sunday we visited family and went to church. I’m in awe of being reminded every year of the story of Christ’s resurrection and how Jesus, who could have literally done everything and anything, chose to die a painful death to pay for all of our sins. Not only that, but Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days later! Sometimes we take that for granted and think Easter is just one of those “candy” holidays, but if you look beyond the bunnies and eggs, and really think and reflect on the resurrection story, it’s one of the most important stories in the Bible as it is foundational to the Christian faith.
Woah, did not mean to pulpiteer there, here’s a Houseplant update: All of the houseplants are thriving! The one that is thriving the most is “Waffle” the purple waffle plant (Hemigraphis alternata) – it has probably grown about 4 inches and has large leaves. Something interesting I noticed was that at night the purple color really comes out of the underside of the leaves, but during the day the leaves go back to a greenish color. It’s kind of wild. The other plants Peter the rabbit foots fern and Toni the fittonia have grown quite a bit as well, but not as robust as Waffle. That’s all I have for today, I hope everyone has a great week!

Learning Center Article – Best Practices for Cable Management in Data Centers
Every network administrator in the world has a horror story about cable management. In data centers, those horror stories grow into genuine nightmares. If enough people work on a system for a long enough period of time, the cables will eventually turn into some type of Ethernet vine monster. Only strict adherence to cable management practices can prevent this disaster.
