Dear CKDU,
I don't really like to count my chickens before they're hatched, but can't you just feel that spring is literally RIGHT around the corner? Here's hoping that the sunshine is wreaking havoc on your wintery mood, turning your frown upside down, and generally causing a stir in your vicinity.

4. DO YOU PLAY NEW RELEASES? HELP THEM CHART!
Dear Programmers,
I've noticed that since the introduction of the paperless logger, the
amount of new releases being played has dwindled from some 150 new
release being played each week, down to fewer then 50 per week…
So i just wanted to remind everyone that in order to help your favourite
bands make it on to our Top 10 Coast Chart and our Top 30 Earshot Chart,
you MUST make sure you add the new release numbers into the paperless
logger.
--Reed, Music Director
5. COMPUTER FILES TO BE DELETED!
Do you have files in DEMO, NOHOST or in your profile? If so, please DOWNSIZE. All Audacity or Ardour projects should be exported to mp3 or ogg, and then deleted. If you really want to keep project files, then please burn them to a CD or DVD, or FTP them to your home computer. Just ask George or any other staff member if you need help doing this. Thanks! An emptier computer means a more reliable, happier computer.
