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。747Please respect copyright.PENANASd26TlqI8Y
747Please respect copyright.PENANAWLjBs3VtH3
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAYxl01pK3Kb
747Please respect copyright.PENANAJv8KbakLDm
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0nNCgNmV3
747Please respect copyright.PENANASMvfHESYhs
雖然睡得不多,卻比平常精神,人的身體真奇妙。747Please respect copyright.PENANAEEWYqN2iLD

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!747Please respect copyright.PENANAbmCC381n63
747Please respect copyright.PENANAeFrX05lmBD
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAvgCZyJZm14
747Please respect copyright.PENANACNJelAimuV
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAAIkbcbGtz1
747Please respect copyright.PENANAMf3G4j98V7
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAAT67oQnPnM
747Please respect copyright.PENANAq5uQp4fRbt
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAdzMFGzM1hj
747Please respect copyright.PENANArR3IQTJ4uj
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》。747Please respect copyright.PENANAFiHCTIHdi3
747Please respect copyright.PENANAPnXFC8sWeL
進入其中,輕按螢幕所顯示的紅色鍵說:747Please respect copyright.PENANA7O2sDOf6dt
747Please respect copyright.PENANAIFBNUbtp1D
「各位早晨啊?用緊android既巴打,Download左個App未啊?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAQlpBphBBFM
747Please respect copyright.PENANAw5CkUjkVEd
747Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2XIl4iqcg

747Please respect copyright.PENANAFIZEgrmu2H
747Please respect copyright.PENANAN5cQfz1uO5
究竟這是哪裡來的讀寫程式?747Please respect copyright.PENANA9stPDIYhDe
747Please respect copyright.PENANAuafIX7DLLf
讀取能力精準得可怕,而且還有自動開新行功能。747Please respect copyright.PENANA5OSY3X7M7g
747Please respect copyright.PENANA9GqkG6lCuY
四眼仔是怎樣找到這樣強大的程式的?747Please respect copyright.PENANAlCQLmpJeHb
747Please respect copyright.PENANA64ps41n83k
別管了,他這種人總有方法的。747Please respect copyright.PENANANnQg61QWlj
747Please respect copyright.PENANApPWwAOgkph
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》。747Please respect copyright.PENANALAcq8DK337
747Please respect copyright.PENANAqBZK0jdAa3
要是說錯話就糟糕了,看來還有改善的地方。747Please respect copyright.PENANAm1ZTKXIEV8
747Please respect copyright.PENANAmkDz7sOhR0
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANA9E0RQqTeVE
747Please respect copyright.PENANAYVe6tEeOyW
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAAnVZrO4r7K
747Please respect copyright.PENANArBmJFfc2qk
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAkHlKztIYjM
747Please respect copyright.PENANAgXfj4u5xDm
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAbyDJJNCzcO
747Please respect copyright.PENANAc9Z8IiDPVN
單吃一口放在最上層的魚柳,我不禁輕輕搖頭。747Please respect copyright.PENANA1QveJG2p2b
747Please respect copyright.PENANA8HJ4hyTJNF
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANArqjwfpDUFG
747Please respect copyright.PENANA81cSTTLYG3
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:747Please respect copyright.PENANA9VxQ5eCBGs
747Please respect copyright.PENANA1wB42Ij2Jn
「有app咩?」(Name:無名)747Please respect copyright.PENANA5cZgVfcTuX

「安葬lol」(Name:豬肉佬)747Please respect copyright.PENANAGqzCzc6rKd
747Please respect copyright.PENANAf7MmSCp63c
嘛,看來app的廣告做得不夠大。747Please respect copyright.PENANAErQx1kBGTO
747Please respect copyright.PENANAcPxBglVI8y
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAeXYFEVpTIp

「我屌爆你老母個屎眼」(Name:超級駭客)747Please respect copyright.PENANAYfZf2tklzk
747Please respect copyright.PENANAEk2b5cJ5A4
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANA6iwEvKyBYx
747Please respect copyright.PENANA1wtm8XEP1T
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANA5aFoOtDQRv
747Please respect copyright.PENANAbzmaJdoUbg
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAoMg1scV2aU
747Please respect copyright.PENANABqKhTBXsYu
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!747Please respect copyright.PENANAczHlN6EknF

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」。747Please respect copyright.PENANAOnafiBIWwm
747Please respect copyright.PENANAP58TQTEW89
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAA6G4xFAouH
747Please respect copyright.PENANAmyzU9O5aHI
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAeUIn4Emmi7
747Please respect copyright.PENANAUlv5V4ieSg
就這點,與現今網絡時代的形勢,實在有點不謀而合。747Please respect copyright.PENANAoO77Z4BGgt
747Please respect copyright.PENANAkeMS6Z3gh2
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAHwlswlavlj
747Please respect copyright.PENANAWZbJ9ujoLJ
747Please respect copyright.PENANAMHfnfIoRTR
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:747Please respect copyright.PENANArYBhanj67N
747Please respect copyright.PENANAB9rRKNj6Am
「網絡黑社會」747Please respect copyright.PENANAG2y8tQu1gE
747Please respect copyright.PENANA8DkZT9RZVV
這就是我對它的第一印象,亦是促使我踏入埃利都的原因。747Please respect copyright.PENANAmhlW9CedcQ
747Please respect copyright.PENANAHfi6e17Dkh
「點解入黑社會巴閉囉,英雄主義囉,疊馬囉。」747Please respect copyright.PENANAlknOOB7vfl
747Please respect copyright.PENANAnuqe3IBSH6
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAmE6fkfEmfw
747Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Q2fUZzvm
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAxEX6bxhD8c
747Please respect copyright.PENANAbAGudizaU7
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」。747Please respect copyright.PENANAqUWVsKvgsv
747Please respect copyright.PENANAnHOVWjxblg
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAYExKG45gzD
747Please respect copyright.PENANARcDCarfg9y
可說是當時的一片樂土。747Please respect copyright.PENANA0EVWr1sOAm
747Please respect copyright.PENANAxBJ8o6fg05
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANArftyGhSBx2
747Please respect copyright.PENANAYkKedb4MgR
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANALk2LPmphty
747Please respect copyright.PENANAn982irhFHR
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAn7qUZzxUhc
747Please respect copyright.PENANAkMntU1cIKn
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAr6kOydmq6S
747Please respect copyright.PENANAkgNQDtd5q3
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAXSJZ6S0CXs
747Please respect copyright.PENANAo4Q9kEsQqf
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAvrAci7fyVf
747Please respect copyright.PENANAMPGcuMB2Hw
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAVSWZH7l3yd

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。747Please respect copyright.PENANABfWzVrdP7f
747Please respect copyright.PENANAvt9enWoW00
用餐過後,我在回公司的途中接到一通電話。747Please respect copyright.PENANACWyRU8kLiq
747Please respect copyright.PENANACPi4eReOCe
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANA5XMoigiRsg
747Please respect copyright.PENANA11nYQtPRC7
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAsVjhBD8qtB
747Please respect copyright.PENANAfRcRJygEr8
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANAA6wLZtLkRB
747Please respect copyright.PENANAnpqquWZ2MT
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。747Please respect copyright.PENANA9sPdP4y1NY
