Does anyone know if there's an option (or a suggested hack) to make IPython notebooks save automatically before executing a cell?
Many times I've been working on something without saving for quite some time, then I execute a stupid command that prints so much crap to the console that my browser becomes unresponsive, leading to me losing all my work.
A timed autosave might also do the trick.

The development version has that feature fully implemented. Install it by following the instructions on the ipython github.
Instructions form the repo:
If you want to hack on certain parts, e.g. the IPython notebook, in a clean environment (such as a virtualenv) you can use pip to grab the necessary dependencies quickly:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/ipython/ipython.git
$ cd ipython
$ pip install -e ".[notebook]"
This installs the necessary packages and symlinks IPython into your current environment so that you can work on your local repo copy and run it from anywhere:
$ ipython notebook

Updating iPython Notebook solved several problems I had with iPython Notebook; for instance, it autosaves, or auto-correction is disabled, or %matplotlib inline works now (before updating, I had to use --pylab inline in the command line when I was running $ipython notebook).
As I use coda on my mac, I updated iPython Notebook via conda:
$conda update ipython

You could simply set a lower interval for autosave feature using the following magic command:
%autosave 60
in order to save automatically your notebook every 60 seconds.
