Server swamped

PHUKET: Following a bulletin on Wednesday afternoon announcing that the deadline for listings in the Gazette Guide (local yellow pages) for 2005 would be Sunday night, 31 October, the Gazette web server has been under heavy pressure and has suffered sporadic downtime.

In what may be a reflection of the booming economy in the Andaman region, approximately 220 new listings and/or updates have been entered onto the server by area businesses over the past 48 hours.

To compensate for the slow server response time, the Gazette is extending the deadline for new listings and updates to 6 pm on Wednesday, 3 November. Listings received after that time will not appear in the 2005 telephone book.

The Gazette wishes to apologize to businesses inconvenienced by the problems with our server.

It is anticipated that traffic on the server will slow somewhat over the weekend. Companies wishing to list during the lull may do so at https://thethaiger.com/guide/index.asp
