Technology Through Our Eyes

I had some work to do on my web design for a site we use to make tournaments for card games. I needed to get several of these pages web design done for the next couple of weeks. The web design on these pages has to be set up ahead of time so they are available links on the main page. The web site manager opens his Internet Explorer pages, logs in and updates the main page only at certain times of each day. So, for the links to be available links; the web designer's pages must have the pages made and ready to access for the players by a certain time. It's also important that the web design is easy on the player's eyes so they can see the join links on the tourney pages as well as the other links they can access. The web design is important for reading the teams who have joined so they can see if they need to join a player or make a team of their own. Color on these web designs are am important key and helps the games run smoothly. If the Internet explorer pages aren't done in plenty of time, the Internet explorer will not be updated in time and the day's links will not be complete for them to access from the main page of the game site. This is a small inconvenience, but one the person who made it doesn't want to deal with on top of running a tournament. Yesterday I opened my Internet explorer and found out I had a problem with my connection. My wireless network router was ok and seemed to be lit up and running. I checked my network settings properties and made sure my wireless LAN (local area network button) was turned on on my laptop. To make sure it wasn't my laptop, I walked into the office and turned on the desktop which has a cable connection. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in the network of the house that was the problem, before I got on the Phone with one of the tech support team members for my connection. Again the explorer page told me no connection I had the same problem with the desk-top. I had one more thing to try before I bugged a techie. Re-booting the modem is the last thing to try to fix it myself. So unplugging the modem was the last try to fix the problem myself. Our Network connection was down. The modem when I rebooted didn't light up like it was before and I had to call my Internet Service Provider for tech support after all. Once I finally got through to the computer I was hearing how I could get help through a link on their main page. I was wondering how I could possibly get there with no Connection right. How funny that is.
