TDC took me offline!

So, i recently quit my job in TDC, and one of the things that had to be done was for me to take over payment on my DSL line, since TDC obviously wont pay for it anymore, since I’m no longer employed.
Thats just fine, its a very simple thing, i know i worked with it, to change the billing address. However, nothing much changed in TDC the past 5 years i worked there when talking about efficiency and failure to do the simplest of things. So as the most natural thing in the world, i expected to be disconnected.
And i was right to do so :) I was suppose to take over billing starting 20th September, and 20th September 00:27 local time this appeared in my firewall log:
20Sep2007 00:27:52 Primary Local Area Network (LAN) connection terminated after 7 day(s), 12 hour(s), 50 minute(s), 48 second(s)
I went to bed 19th September around 23.00 so i noticed nothing until 20th September 8:30ish in the morning. I knew exactly what was wrong, i just could not understand why. If I had ordered the speed of the connection changed or made some other changes of some sort to the technical side of it, i would have had a bit of understanding.
Anyways, knowing how long it can take to call the primary help desk function of TDC, i called some of my x-colleagues, who could see they had completely removed me from their management systems, meaning in short; i was non existing DSL user with my ISP!
I asked the guy politely if he could get me back into the management system again, and he then called another department internally in TDC and made them restore me.
Cheers ! Im just gladim not a “regular” customer who would have had to wait for several hours to just know what the hell happend :)
What a day :)

Today is my last day at work in TDC, it is also the last day in Denmark before i head off to Egypt, to dive with a bunch of friends and try out my new dive lamp :)
Going by train from Aarhus to Copenhagen today, and tomorrow we fly from Copenhagen Airport to Sham el Sheik in Egypt, to fly further on to Luxor ( also in Egypt ). There we have to spend the night as we miss the last military convoy with 15 minutes :( Then we have a 250 kilometer drive through the desert until we reach Marsa Alam Ecolodges.
One week of diving later, we will head the same way back home to Denmark :)
I wonder if i get to make up some names for my girl ;)
New server!

For a long time i have been annoyed by the fact that i had several servers running at home, thats going to end now!
A friend sold me a E6600 processor for a nice price, and after buying a low end ASrock motherboard and a CM Stacker chassis, I’m now building a new server to replace my old web server, my exchange server, and my FTP server. Also, considering the CPU power of the E6600 I’m most likely going to my my TV Tuner card from my main PC to the server as well. Thats in the future though :)
Heres a few pictures from the installation :)
