Comment (by Otto42):

 Oops. Fixed diff now attached. It'll have the plugin list if it needs it.

 I don't like your idea, ryan, because you're very much limiting where it's
 allowed to check. I dislike that a lot. I want it to never, ever, not
 check. In your proposal, for example, what if I never visit the dashboard?
 Many people don't after all, they just make bookmarks to the part of the
 admin they hit the most often.

 A cron job is fine, if it can *always* check synchronously as a backup.
 Not just on the dashboard, but anywhere. Yes, even when you hit Write
 Post. If it's time to check, then it's time to check.

 The maybe_check is a good idea and I support it, as long as you hook it to
 admin_init instead.

 Also, call it "twicedaily" instead of "12hours". I've seen other plugins
 and people appending to the cron stuff and they've all used that so far.
