So I’ve been seeing this phrase “Live in the 2″ around places and I got curious about what it was. Apparently, its a saying that means that you want to live in the top two percent of society, something everyone would like but not many would achieve. Well, I visited the site, and I took the self improvement test and according to the results, if I applied a little discipline to my life and worked a little harder, I could live in the top 2. Which would be nice. Not worrying about anything.

While its an AWESOME idea to live in the top two percent financially, it means so much more to live in the top two. It improves your total life. Financialy, spiritually and healthly (is that a word? If not, it should be ;p ). The test took less than five minutes and the results included some tips to making my life better. Passion, discipline, optimism and others and it included a link to finding more ways to make my life better. Over all it seems to be worth it.

The idea behind living in the two is that you’re willing to embark on a journey of self improvement, something that not all of us could handle. Its easy to live in the two but you have to want it. Take the test, its easy and it could help make your life better. Mine’s already looking up.

Here at work we have a scanner. Its not just any scanner, its a Chromagraph S 3010 running software made by Heidleberg. When it comes to scanners, its one of the best around. The problem is, the software is going on eight (8) years old and its running on a base of Windows95 (which there is *NO* support for these days).

Until yesterday, it was setup to store its scans on a DEC Alpha 4000 server. The Dec went down over the long holiday weekend and has decided to start throwing disk errors out the yang. Something else for me to fix, but its not a priority as it was dying anyways due to a lightening strike two years ago. I have to find a better, newer way to connect the windows95 box to the current network and have it accessable.

Well, we’ve tried mounting a mac via NFS (using Maestro on the win95 box) and we have issues with one of the drivers. I’ve managed, through some good googling to find a copy of Internet Explorer 5.5sp2 and a copy of DSClient.exe for windows 9x which *should* let me log on to a domain via the windows 95 box, and it does. Now the problem is mounting a windows 2003 share on the 95 box.

The current setup is that I have a windows 2000 server mounting a share from the 95 box (I can mount it in Vista and XP but not Server 03?!?!) and then we copy the files from the windows 95 share to a share on our 2k3 server. Its clunky, ugly and not the best way to do it, but it works for the moment.

I’m going to keep googling, because I know there’s an answer to my problem out there (though I’d rather use the boat anchor approach…). I’ve tried using a program called Mount Everything, but some how, I can’t seem to mount anything with it. So thats an option too if I can get it working correctly…. Hey, maybe it needs IE as well.
