昨晚,《巴別塔》的App正式上架,為了處理繁多的事務,我沒有回家,留在四眼仔的家埋頭苦幹,天明時才放下滑鼠。726Please respect copyright.PENANALhVhfIIjP4
726Please respect copyright.PENANAe0qmRxEYc6
手放鬆下來,把手提電腦安置好,一躺到小梳化,意識就消失了。726Please respect copyright.PENANACw48SLrUXm
726Please respect copyright.PENANAUcu4mMOY5x
不久醒來看看手錶,居然只睡得兩個小時,看來是優秀的生理時鐘發揮作用吧。726Please respect copyright.PENANAzNdx0dhiQd
726Please respect copyright.PENANAq5wSnUcnxz
雖然睡得不多,卻比平常精神,人的身體真奇妙。726Please respect copyright.PENANAe5rPVJ5xxq

去到九龍灣,時間尚早!還有閒時可到法國餐廳「Café de Coral」買一頓豐富的外賣早餐回公司,真的good morning!726Please respect copyright.PENANAAjAdBVfkKr
726Please respect copyright.PENANAXlFR1XlB9D
回到去,我當然沒有說半句「good morning」,做這種假惺惺的門面功夫不是我的風格,況且這個good morning亦不見得很good。726Please respect copyright.PENANAFwz1AaeYYw
726Please respect copyright.PENANAIETf7CDQjX
一如以往,低調務實地回到居屬於自己的神聖領域——陰暗狹窄的貨倉——才是我周壯志的做法。726Please respect copyright.PENANAy7bGPgizuS
726Please respect copyright.PENANAXmA3xkHxNT
在一向工作用的小工作檯——不知從何而來的高木箱——整齊放好全份早餐,咖啡放在左上角,主餐放在正中,即棄餐具與牛油放在右邊,擺好陣,安定好,就開始今天第一件工作。726Please respect copyright.PENANAN2LRkX0k3y
726Please respect copyright.PENANAXg6fES01pb
我從背囊找出一部四眼仔擊借給我的舊HTC電話,開始測試《巴別塔App》的功能。726Please respect copyright.PENANArHP2IuPqx5
726Please respect copyright.PENANAG3RvviIoYF
為了對這個App進行公開測試,我特意在論壇分區新開了一個《巴別塔App談天區》。726Please respect copyright.PENANAwvkA0iIv9C
726Please respect copyright.PENANATbEN1mDCal
進入其中,輕按螢幕所顯示的紅色鍵說:726Please respect copyright.PENANAZdBDbch5tZ
726Please respect copyright.PENANAMZiVV34GE2
「各位早晨啊?用緊android既巴打,Download左個App未啊?」726Please respect copyright.PENANAhA6aaB6Wdx
726Please respect copyright.PENANApduiFojp5s
726Please respect copyright.PENANA2Sfs291D9H
「各位早晨啊726Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wndnUPwa

726Please respect copyright.PENANAoROEmDtJoT
726Please respect copyright.PENANAgfhcGkJ0Cz
究竟這是哪裡來的讀寫程式?726Please respect copyright.PENANAvMVKsrHv4u
726Please respect copyright.PENANAvrb5wjgRfz
讀取能力精準得可怕,而且還有自動開新行功能。726Please respect copyright.PENANAamBqkkQenw
726Please respect copyright.PENANAKYCiLGlEyJ
四眼仔是怎樣找到這樣強大的程式的?726Please respect copyright.PENANAGjbcs2FVOe
726Please respect copyright.PENANA1BkA17pfZT
別管了,他這種人總有方法的。726Please respect copyright.PENANApGdkR92iRI
726Please respect copyright.PENANASNqVSH8aq3
字出現後兩秒,系統問也沒問,剛剛才說的留言瞬間被上傳到《巴別塔App談天區》。726Please respect copyright.PENANAXD5Wp36WWQ
726Please respect copyright.PENANAwHkfbNYrj4
要是說錯話就糟糕了,看來還有改善的地方。726Please respect copyright.PENANAFh4hYhTnUa
726Please respect copyright.PENANA2MWsJnYJo6
放下電話等待回覆的時間,我拆開餐具,首先拿起在主餐一角的厚多士,大刀闊斧地塗上整盒牛油,再把炒滑蛋放上多士上,然後疊上早已沾上沙律醬的炸魚柳,合成出一份疑似Pizza又像三文治的物體。726Please respect copyright.PENANAN1vGZMx78i
726Please respect copyright.PENANAunvtZ7vTWo
一份這樣的鬼東西加上一杯不美味的黑咖啡,已經索價近三十元,比我求學時期的午飯還要貴,再過幾年,早餐想必會變成奢侈品。726Please respect copyright.PENANAdNvChtyq9t
726Please respect copyright.PENANAVrnmAvG9Ni
為配合這份鬼東西的高度,我把口張得大得很咬下去。魚柳的脆,炒蛋的滑,牛油的香,多士的軟,剎那間混為一體。726Please respect copyright.PENANAwAaO99BMoO
726Please respect copyright.PENANAdI3rGM72FI
坦白說實在吃不出層次感,口中的東西只是一團有點牛油與蛋味還有點沙律醬的混合物,這樣吃單純因為方便,沒有其他特別專業的原因。726Please respect copyright.PENANAYlTzvOrnLR
726Please respect copyright.PENANAWs0LMHuEXb
單吃一口放在最上層的魚柳,我不禁輕輕搖頭。726Please respect copyright.PENANA8xHKDdfpn2
726Please respect copyright.PENANAJSZIvbZGvL
比起M記,大家樂的魚柳做得更差,又乾又無味,即使有,也被沙律醬的味道蓋過,早知就要雞排吧。726Please respect copyright.PENANA04CJ4vaMdR
726Please respect copyright.PENANAD1iCQ9Xq7i
看看調較到長明的HTC舊電話,發現已有幾個回覆,可惜現在雙手都沒空,所以只能見到在我發言之下的兩個留言:726Please respect copyright.PENANAYv6GHFX0yZ
726Please respect copyright.PENANAqW2FdHtCfj
「有app咩?」(Name:無名)726Please respect copyright.PENANAB0lJX2feSp

「安葬lol」(Name:豬肉佬)726Please respect copyright.PENANAy22yrPNebT
726Please respect copyright.PENANA0PFYHQz1C1
嘛,看來app的廣告做得不夠大。726Please respect copyright.PENANAR7DHOZgPG6
726Please respect copyright.PENANAnvzczId1JC
為了能看到下面的留言,我快快把剩餘兩口大的鬼東西塞進口裡,用紙巾簡單地抹抹手,拉到下面看看其他留言。726Please respect copyright.PENANAqLF3x5qADL
726Please respect copyright.PENANAZOiUSjuwoe
「新區報到,ABC你唔講我都唔知有app」(Name:無名)726Please respect copyright.PENANAzJe3LFVrX4

「我屌爆你老母個屎眼」(Name:超級駭客)726Please respect copyright.PENANAgvm4nx10Mh
726Please respect copyright.PENANAboOIrgugs2
超級駭客是巴別塔頭一批會員,雖然爛口,但為人健談,而且知識廣博,曾發起多個熱門討論,對巴別塔可謂貢獻良多。726Please respect copyright.PENANAEYeZVaMm0C
726Please respect copyright.PENANA4jrZmlvsb9
現在看他的留言格式,毫無疑問就是經由app產生出來的,他大概就是除了開發人員以外,第一個使用巴別塔app的會員,就這一點已足以讓他將來留名巴別塔的Wiki。726Please respect copyright.PENANALIA26pMrkH
726Please respect copyright.PENANAto1hPNy4PH
看他這個留言能夠精準地顯示出「我屌爆你老母個屎眼」,真的可喜可賀,讀寫程式的功能依舊強大,大概只要不太過跨語言的話,它就不會有重大失誤。726Please respect copyright.PENANAnSf4aetRvA
726Please respect copyright.PENANAUYXXgbDUEi
現在我的心情非常雀躍,巴別塔已經在這重要的第一步獲得重大勝利!如計劃所行,只要每個人都使用這個app的話,留言數與資訊量就會大幅上升,到時作為創造主的我,就可以掌握如神一般強大的力量了!726Please respect copyright.PENANANQ0vJGK8Sj

走到這一步,我想起過去一個曾經興盛的網絡城邦,也想起一個古都—「埃利都」。726Please respect copyright.PENANAAlfIX5upra
726Please respect copyright.PENANAChYmugyXqk
埃利都意釋為「浩浩蕩蕩之地」,是米索不達米亞南部最早的城市,世上最古老的城市之一,遺址在現在伊拉克的濟加爾省左右。726Please respect copyright.PENANABAEhXHkza6
726Please respect copyright.PENANA54CYlBb2nJ
在歷史上,它是個悠久而健全的城邦,在時代的交接點上,它的下滑伴隨著巴比倫的掘起。726Please respect copyright.PENANA6feA5etMON
726Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ2XNtaDty
就這點,與現今網絡時代的形勢,實在有點不謀而合。726Please respect copyright.PENANA9bPgebxnoU
726Please respect copyright.PENANAin68Iu411b
但這也是自然的,因為不論現實,還是網絡世界,只要有人類的地方,就會不斷重覆歷史的戲碼,直至人去樓空,舞台崩壞方才休止。726Please respect copyright.PENANAAe7CFSe1G3
726Please respect copyright.PENANAzK8KEeb9S5
726Please respect copyright.PENANAZSs8tj7dtO
說回那個網絡城邦,接下來我就直接稱它作「埃利都」吧。還記得從前,未真正認識它的時候一個同學把稱為:726Please respect copyright.PENANAId2aXUl3i3
726Please respect copyright.PENANABnNgyLBkCB
「網絡黑社會」726Please respect copyright.PENANAZ42dn9PNZs
726Please respect copyright.PENANAxNzRSIJzJF
這就是我對它的第一印象,亦是促使我踏入埃利都的原因。726Please respect copyright.PENANAemRgWOi4ur
726Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHCh8ASd0
「點解入黑社會巴閉囉,英雄主義囉,疊馬囉。」726Please respect copyright.PENANAUPf5i8MS1R
726Please respect copyright.PENANAnW9c6rbPfq
我進去,不是好奇,而是為了上位,最大目標是接管它,成為那裡的皇者,在網絡獲得神的力量。726Please respect copyright.PENANAF0elekgPap
726Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gv1kh5lDb
但有上過這個網站的,都知這個所謂的「網絡黑社會」只是存在於同學的幻想當中,其實它就只是一個普通不過的論壇。726Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ1sTQqGpR
726Please respect copyright.PENANAzCX1wS0vf1
不同的是特別的註冊方式,不能編輯或刪除留言,以及最重要的一點:「自由」。726Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4b1VgggJ
726Please respect copyright.PENANAiat3YfsC2j
不似「香X」或「Xwant」之類大型論壇。那裡人人平等,沒有積分,沒有版主,沒有階級,會員不需忍受「版主」的面色和奉承他們。726Please respect copyright.PENANAoklxeXMu9P
726Please respect copyright.PENANAcEkTWpZ5oI
可說是當時的一片樂土。726Please respect copyright.PENANAVZwfpm0hLn
726Please respect copyright.PENANAhxe7sFIflX
不過自從經營的公司轉變後,隨即惡政連連,論壇質素每況愈下。726Please respect copyright.PENANApodgIOMhkJ
726Please respect copyright.PENANAMa6AJHgQx4
新人加入,舊人離開,如同現實的世代交接,原是正常之事,但昔日文化得不到傳承,令論壇的核心價值一步一步地邁去死亡。726Please respect copyright.PENANAvZJJFyFDqE
726Please respect copyright.PENANATrRkRARner
終於,時至今日,該埃利都風光不再,已經降至與「5P」,「X討」和「Uxxxx」同級。726Please respect copyright.PENANACvNVArVYBy
726Please respect copyright.PENANAwgYaMe6UkP
在這個墮落的時代,如歷史一樣,巴別塔好像巴比倫一樣,成為了埃利都的繼承者。因為它沒有犯一點很重要錯誤,就是它的論壇格式在香港是獨特的。726Please respect copyright.PENANAVBvpZgW4ba
726Please respect copyright.PENANAMHUDIaOKmr
曾經有幾個論壇複製埃利都的格式,試圖取而代之,但最後還是失敗告終。因為格式相同,就註定永遠活在它的陰影之下,只有創出自己的風格才是唯一出路,這就是巴別塔將會成功的第一原因。726Please respect copyright.PENANAyE7Wk7Ev0y
726Please respect copyright.PENANAew1233gWGO
然後,每個地方都需要一個自由的論壇,在埃利都崩潰所形成的時代交接點,巴別塔的出現正好可給予埃利都高質會員一個新樂土,加上魚柳包的話題性,壯大就只是時間問題。726Please respect copyright.PENANABsQe5fDisN
726Please respect copyright.PENANA03OYo1um5J
我微笑著喝口黑咖啡,開始一邊觀察巴別塔的動態,一邊開始今天的工作。726Please respect copyright.PENANA4vlG7iHyNe

坦白說,「Café de Coral」那些中價行政午膳我就吃不起了,所以就走遠一點,到了一間從前開在牛頭角下村的車仔麵店。726Please respect copyright.PENANAF73E7boUGy
726Please respect copyright.PENANAg5YNGMcMbU
用餐過後,我在回公司的途中接到一通電話。726Please respect copyright.PENANA5NYEFZOSbo
726Please respect copyright.PENANAI8zkwWAhTM
是上司Peter打來的,內容大致說一件事:我下個月,即是明天上班的分店已定下來,是力奇電訊位於旺角的旗艦店。726Please respect copyright.PENANASlyPpArGTv
726Please respect copyright.PENANAIrdBAVUQqB
也罷,我們這個職位就好像清潔工人一樣,哪裡需要你就會作出傳召,只差在我們清潔的地方不是嘔吐物或者某些人隨處便溺的殘餘物。726Please respect copyright.PENANA7FJLwEiSqk
726Please respect copyright.PENANABsVOCA1uby
之前聽過,有些support仔要在街上四處蕩,自己找個地方候命,比起他們,現在我能夠有個地方給落腳已經算不錯了。726Please respect copyright.PENANAEUmpWjz6j8
726Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qjev6NRRh
對於轉換新環境,我沒有不滿,也對現在留守的分店沒有留戀,在這裡的一個半月,我跟店內的同事說過的話不過十句,沒有人會在意我,更不會有人送別我,即使明天來上班的人不是我,也沒有人會注意到。726Please respect copyright.PENANAWcax4p6fRD
726Please respect copyright.PENANACRJquxLFsp
