Simple Node Info Block

There is a not a lot to this module, but it does what it says. It isn't pretty, takes some tweaking, and may not be useful for everyone.

About This Node provides a block of node information. Thinks like author, revision status, and other important information can be seen by Admins and assigned users. There is not much else to mention, other than you have to tweak it to make it look good.

I like having this module, but I may not use it full time. It could definitely be made more useful, such as offering quick links to sections. I don't like wasting a lot of space, so I may not have it active all the time, but... it does do things that avoid Drupal annoyances. An example would be that it gives you the node id, which is something that can actually take some mousing over to acquire, depending on the way your Drupal site is set up.

I have no complaints, but I would like to see it have more admin speeding up features in the future. I think it has a lot of potential to be more that just a block. I know they will never make it for end users, but that doesn't mean it can't improve for Admins, editors, and others that might use it.
