My Autolink module has now been updated to work with Drupal 4.7.

For the uninitiated, here’s an excerpt from the read me file:

The Autolink module saves users from having to manually enter links for commonly used URLs.

The module scans posts for a set of terms. Any term found is optionally replaced with some other text, and then automatically linked to its corresponding URL.

The module uses Drupal’s built in taxonomy feature, so you can organize your terms in a Drupal vocabulary. Autolink terms are represented with the taxonomy terms in the autolink vocabulary. The descriptions are used to provide the URL that the term should link to.

One thing that really annoys me these days is applications which dont support automatic updating.

If you’ve written code to check for new versions (not exactly hard these day), not bothering to go the extra step and write the code that will download the new version for your user is just annoying. Even writing some extra code to optionally install the new version and restart it isn’t exactly rocket science. Grrrr…

Truly, Lotus Notes is the worst email program I have ever had the misfortune to use in my entire life.

I can’t believe it’s so big, and yet so bad.

The only explanation that I can see is that it exists purely to make life easier for MIS departments, and the fact that it’s a heap of festering turds to use is entirely irrelevant!
