I’m pretty sure that the brain I implanted in the Thrilling Tales page update system was not labeled "Abby Normal". But I do get a little absent minded, so….
Anyway I’ve made a couple of slight changes and did a new test behind the scenes, and everything worked just splendidly – possibly because it was behind the scenes so you couldn’t see it.
But since we’re talking about what’s behind the scenes, here’s what goes on there.
When a previously scheduled post goes live at Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual*, it emails a page update notification to an ultra secret email address. The Webomator blog checks the email for that address, and if the email is legitimate the Web-O-Blog publishes it as a post in the Thrilling Tales: Page Updates category. Then it deletes that email from the mail server, just like your own email client probably does when you download new messages.
For whatever reason, I think that the emails weren’t being deleted this morning. So every hour the Web-O-Blog would check the email, find a "new" message, and post it. That shouldn’t have happened, and I can’t make it happen again now, so maybe I fixed it. The next real world test will happen Monday morning when another page goes live.
I sure don’t know why it happened in the first place; if what I did this morning really did fix it, it may have had something to do with the way the emails ended. Anyhow: I’m sure it was annoying if you saw it – if you’re seeing these posts on Facebook, you’re still seeing it. Please believe that it annoyed me at least as much as it did you.
*This is the clever bit, because only serialized Thrilling Tales pages are scheduled ahead of time.

Okay, so for some reason my page update posts are appearing three times, which never happened during testing. I’m trying to figure out at which point they’re multiplied, and in fact this little post is part of that wonderful process of exploration. Film at eleven.
