Drea is curious about recent problems on the site. Kristy explains how things will work in yet another overhaul of the site…
Drea: The data will go through a server in Decatur, Georgia?
Kristy: That's right. The data in Decatur is processed by a server called Minerva. And we'll also be testing out new coding from a firm based in Kentucky.
Drea: The data from Decatur will be run by some coding from Kentucky?
Kristy: Yep, Coding from Kentucky. And we have to be careful. There's a new virus out that will dramatically affect the site.
Drea: What's it called?
Kristy: Osiris
Drea: Osiris?
Drea: Are you telling me that the data from Decatur could be spoiled?
Kristy: Yes. From a virus...
Drea: Called Osiris?
Kristy: Yes...
Drea: Will the site be able to prevent any problems?
Kristy: Of course. We've gotten some new protection... from a firm in Parma, Italy. It's called Armor.
Drea: The Armor from Parma?
Kristy: Yes.
Drea: Let me get this straight. You're saying that we're at risk because of a virus called Osiris?
Kristy: Yes.
Drea: And it could mess up the data from Decatur?
Kristy: (Kristy answers cell phone) Yes...what's that? Oh dear.
Drea: What?
Kristy: The Armor from Parma has some licensing issues; we won't be able to run it after all.
Drea: That's scary. So you pay for protection and you can't use it?
Kristy: The Armor from Parma...that's right.
Drea: How will you protect the data from Decatur?
Kristy: We have some backup virus protection provided by the server.
Drea: The server called Minerva?
Kristy: Yes. It's easy to remember. The data from Decatur is safe with the server called Minerva.
Drea: And the coding is from Parma?
Kristy: No...The coding is from Kentucky; the Armor is from Parma.
Drea: And the virus won't affect Osiris?
Kristy: No... The virus is Osiris. The data is from Decatur...
Drea: You've lost me.
Kristy: It's really simple. (another phone call) What? Oh no, the server is down; we'll have to go to another backup.
Drea: Another Server?
Kristy: Yes, from Vancouver, British Columbia
Drea: The server called Minerva?
Kristy: No…the server called Minerva is down. The data from Decatur will be handled by the server from Vancouver.
Drea: And the Armor from Parma will protect it?
Kristy: No...The Armor from Parma was lax in its license, so we'll be operating using protection from a firm in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
Drea: The protection from Prince Rupert? What about the coding from Decatur?
Kristy: You seem confused. Okay...the data from Decatur is handled by the coding from Kentucky.
Drea: And the data from Decatur is protected by the Armor from Parma?
Kristy: No, No. The Armor from Parma was lax in its license but the protection from Prince Rupert will spot any spam.
Drea: Any spam?
Kristy: Any spam.
Drea: And will it protect the coding from Kentucky?
Kristy: Yes.
Drea: What about the server called Minerva?
Kristy: What about it.
Drea: Will it be protected from the virus called Osiris?
Kristy: No. The server called Minerva had problem with its power so the data from Decatur will be routed through the server from Vancouver.
Drea: It's all so confusing.
Kristy: Here... it's actually all so easy. The Armor from Parma was lax in its license but the protection from Prince Rupert has the license that is true.
Drea: Now I'm completely lost.
Kristy: Here. The coding from Kentucky is run through the server from Vancouver
Drea: Vancouver?
Kristy: Yes…The protection from Prince Rupert will keep the site safe.
Drea: From the Armor from Parma?
Kristy: No. The Armor from Parma was lax in its license so we can't use it to fight off the virus called Osiris.
Drea: Osiris?
Kristy: The virus...yes. Now you've got it.
Drea: Got what?
Kristy: The data from Decatur is run by the coding from Kentucky and the protection from Prince Rupert has the license that is true.
Drea: And what about the stories?
Kristy: The creations from the Closet?
Drea: Yes ... I think.
Kristy: The creations from the Closet are safe from the virus called Osiris.
Drea: And what about the coding from Decatur?
Kristy: No...The coding is from Kentucky; the data is from Decatur.
Drea: I think this is where I came in.
Kristy: The coding from Kentucky for the data from Decatur is safe from the virus called Osiris because the protection from Prince Rupert works best for the server from Vancouver
Drea: For the creations from the Closet?
Kristy: Yes.
