Notepad

Overview
I'm always making notes of things - project plans, todo lists, etc, and because of this I'm always keeping text files in different places. Keeping track of them's always a pain. A webdrive for a while seemed like a solution to keeping track of them but because of caching, etc it doesn't work out so well, plus I've had problems using the webdrive client at work (the inbuilt Windows client leaves a lot to be desired).

So, here's a little module I knocked together to store notes. Very simple, but very handy (for me at least).

You simply create a note and it appears in a block, or on your main summary page. You can assign priorities which influences the order they're displayed.

It's 4.7 only and when I get some time I'll produce a 5 release. There's no 4.6 version, but again if I get time I'll convert it - it's only the forms that'd need changing.
