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。708Please respect copyright.PENANADmvSmMfL5w

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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAhhoP8CAFZq
708Please respect copyright.PENANAAVTPHdrWnO
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAG53TPPJ4f4
708Please respect copyright.PENANAwXVPnUXDro
雖然睡得不多,卻比平常精神,人的身體真奇妙。708Please respect copyright.PENANAHMXjFeIZyh

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!708Please respect copyright.PENANA7IjtSIB3zG
708Please respect copyright.PENANAYzeWMu8d3g
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAkHIfv6J16d
708Please respect copyright.PENANAextzt0WKit
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAMeE88lcoG1
708Please respect copyright.PENANAaOP077pMmU
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAjncUnWpLbY
708Please respect copyright.PENANAtDHoBPm4GM
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAu4UGlmnE02
708Please respect copyright.PENANAFsQWjn4nI1
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》。708Please respect copyright.PENANA5aSyS52d7z
708Please respect copyright.PENANAr4t1z3JOxZ
進入其中,輕按螢幕所顯示的紅色鍵說:708Please respect copyright.PENANAh92nH8UyiL

「各位早晨啊?用緊android既巴打,Download左個App未啊?」708Please respect copyright.PENANAhfgyXVlLJ2

708Please respect copyright.PENANABOB9TuIiAO
708Please respect copyright.PENANAtPhkcRWSzE
究竟這是哪裡來的讀寫程式?708Please respect copyright.PENANA9QFIun0qvW
708Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q98PEhbj4
讀取能力精準得可怕,而且還有自動開新行功能。708Please respect copyright.PENANAtS1Pn6J8Ip
708Please respect copyright.PENANAHHybhUIqQO
四眼仔是怎樣找到這樣強大的程式的?708Please respect copyright.PENANA72W1XzkiTa
708Please respect copyright.PENANAjUiYTMF6ee
別管了,他這種人總有方法的。708Please respect copyright.PENANADcxpTu5t9y
708Please respect copyright.PENANA31naaZqNyM
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》。708Please respect copyright.PENANAUB8MQdEcT6
708Please respect copyright.PENANAbpG9UzzQCL
要是說錯話就糟糕了,看來還有改善的地方。708Please respect copyright.PENANA55cWm52r39

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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ws2loMSs
708Please respect copyright.PENANAaZQvLDnqeN
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAQXacIA7NvO
708Please respect copyright.PENANA0ERRfueN1q
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAbbfQ1u8eI7
708Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLRQyifvv
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANArS8ZWmTlOP
708Please respect copyright.PENANAtXntbaT52J
單吃一口放在最上層的魚柳,我不禁輕輕搖頭。708Please respect copyright.PENANA5qO2FdenSG
708Please respect copyright.PENANAp7haXzYqNd
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAczpQDVLjkM
708Please respect copyright.PENANAi0d34yjkhw
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:708Please respect copyright.PENANALJQM0qisNN
708Please respect copyright.PENANAD6asTuoL0y
「有app咩?」(Name:無名)708Please respect copyright.PENANAWKWSjYn6Lc

708Please respect copyright.PENANAWSNiS8gkqa
嘛,看來app的廣告做得不夠大。708Please respect copyright.PENANAnh2M6hYbQv
708Please respect copyright.PENANAMirxS9137t
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAvAH2Z3rgvH

「我屌爆你老母個屎眼」(Name:超級駭客)708Please respect copyright.PENANAUfnIl5laQA
708Please respect copyright.PENANA0PeraO2g4H
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAPtVnrp1pcp
708Please respect copyright.PENANAzpPQZUYObX
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANADm6IvTnZrc
708Please respect copyright.PENANARLJXX3w5Ry
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAaGDZ9OivvU
708Please respect copyright.PENANAoF45CCZym3
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!708Please respect copyright.PENANASVNxVCPXjT

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」。708Please respect copyright.PENANApcP5JmrLUX
708Please respect copyright.PENANAVWzeZ8nOhU
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANA0mpLLakOJB
708Please respect copyright.PENANAJoY83Uqkzs
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANA9uDCh8TThW
708Please respect copyright.PENANAnk4LWkZgcM
就這點,與現今網絡時代的形勢,實在有點不謀而合。708Please respect copyright.PENANAgcHqI2dYVs
708Please respect copyright.PENANATNzvSAxoEo
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAt9geloA1Hp
708Please respect copyright.PENANAwYECWFvtr0
708Please respect copyright.PENANAyxAJMa9PNS
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:708Please respect copyright.PENANAMKzUh2iQjF
708Please respect copyright.PENANATQ7UdJNWyi
「網絡黑社會」708Please respect copyright.PENANACYInyMsHbm
708Please respect copyright.PENANA7pKLcwmsi6
這就是我對它的第一印象,亦是促使我踏入埃利都的原因。708Please respect copyright.PENANA2SrHV96ZDI
708Please respect copyright.PENANAPLx9zbmW9M
「點解入黑社會巴閉囉,英雄主義囉,疊馬囉。」708Please respect copyright.PENANAj8JO2EMjZA
708Please respect copyright.PENANA4usoMR4RsD
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAqpNvjNFsTa
708Please respect copyright.PENANAVEX5dGwBzc
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAruEA6C87hw
708Please respect copyright.PENANAjrt4TVZebb
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」。708Please respect copyright.PENANAme6KC513wX
708Please respect copyright.PENANAvGkeIOtOPt
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANATVi3NQ9QIy
708Please respect copyright.PENANA3bqofzYust
可說是當時的一片樂土。708Please respect copyright.PENANAc7DJQYdSxU
708Please respect copyright.PENANAYdJxtwK2CL
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAxD2GjoBtOh
708Please respect copyright.PENANAyq99LhX5yS
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANA1HjczKyJEX
708Please respect copyright.PENANA9wFEE2ar5W
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAjXKY6NaE0h
708Please respect copyright.PENANA9ykafJ5PwI
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANASRm01c6ep3
708Please respect copyright.PENANAypfv6pe2Ts
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANARFmakOcZ98
708Please respect copyright.PENANAjAUX7Ifxkw
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAbFGWnlh1Id
708Please respect copyright.PENANAdGVUIYj7jn

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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAbHdIqV5D0y
708Please respect copyright.PENANArFRgsxnda3
用餐過後,我在回公司的途中接到一通電話。708Please respect copyright.PENANAVIw99wZNTE
708Please respect copyright.PENANA4EKp9NN6vx
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANA3oA8vB8xMm
708Please respect copyright.PENANAKAI12bnweE
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAxFBOdArfHx
708Please respect copyright.PENANAg3ZNDCem0a
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANALhWGcDgZ0Y
708Please respect copyright.PENANA9E5GMhB75d
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。708Please respect copyright.PENANAwMQw1wmAFi
