Earlier today, I went looking for a plugin similar to hoverIntent but worked for other events. Turns out there wasn’t one (or at least I couldn’t find one), so I wrote one. Here it is:

Zipped source and example
Enjoy. I hope it’s useful for other people.
Oh, I should mention… As with the Timer plugin, I have no interest in maintenance or support. So, unless there’s a major security problem or giant leaking of memory, I don’t really care. I didn’t put a lot of thought in to designing an API or anything. You should feel free to modify the code as you see fit.
While I was working on the SiteCrawler script, I had a problem getting it to redirect output to a file. In fact it’s one of the reasons I put it on the back burner. I thought it was a Python (on Windows) problem, but it turns it’s just a Windows® Issue™:

Even though the article is about WinXP and 2k, I thought I’d try the registry fix. Sure enough — it works! So I will probably start adding stuff to the site crawler again and may actually release it!

So, Automatic upgrade for WP has been broken for some time. Now there’s a stupid coding error that’s responsible for a worm attack. This is what I get for following the trend and not researching some software that I start using.
A possible switch to a different blog software may be in the works if they don’t get their act together.
