Upgrade now. Immediately. Do not record a session, do not pass go, you don’t get $200. The “worm” that is out there is really and truly ugly, creating a backdoor to your blog and corrupting your database.
Takes three minutes to upgrade (download, unpack, FTP it to your site).
If you want to be really smart, disengage all your plug ins before you do (some of us are not that bright….) and back everything up.
Seriously, do it now. (I know people who got hacked and they say it is really, really ugly. They lost months worth of entries and work).
Please don't feel obligated but a week doesn't go by without somebody writing to ask where this button is.
Thank you to everybody who supports my work whether it's through donation, reviews, or fan mail. Knowing that I've added something to your life is immensely gratifying.
Probably just means we’ll get repeat RSS. No biggie–I’m used to that.
It’s done. Let me know if you seen anything odd.

We will wait for you Sar! You do what you gotta do, we’ll be here when you’re done, with headphones on :)
You Called Him Sar?
And FYI, the update was done in about 20 minutes. So far nothing seems too broken. :)
Nate,
What is the time base for you website? I posted at 7:03 EDT.
