How often do you update your system? (sh.itjust.works)

I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I'm curious what other people do.

Once a week. I have to use proprietary realtek ethernet drivers and they need to be rebuilt with each kernel upgrade. I haven't figured out a clean way to plug them into packman and rebuild on kernel updates so I just update, reboot, rebuild and install drivers when I notice I'm on WiFi instead of ethernet.
