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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAXufDXoTP6m
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2QWA0EGO7j
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAD6qrA5EpgZ
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0vVEtoXPrs
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAGGuKXvmxSf
746Please respect copyright.PENANAPKCTZ3kmdI
雖然睡得不多,卻比平常精神,人的身體真奇妙。746Please respect copyright.PENANA7BWWYaYfQe

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!746Please respect copyright.PENANAHZkmcdryDy
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVKkGcX83V6
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAV5FBMTitCp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGhgwUe58as
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAacu7S4LQcO
746Please respect copyright.PENANAx8zwZevJXv
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAVS41HDoiNa

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。746Please respect copyright.PENANATkLB5UwHuc
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGa9myA2DGR
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》。746Please respect copyright.PENANACxatXRsxm6
746Please respect copyright.PENANA7cvDXy7mRy
進入其中,輕按螢幕所顯示的紅色鍵說:746Please respect copyright.PENANAtVWYyIWWs9

「各位早晨啊?用緊android既巴打,Download左個App未啊?」746Please respect copyright.PENANA7ulYDJXabJ

746Please respect copyright.PENANAsPH1e6mbzt
究竟這是哪裡來的讀寫程式?746Please respect copyright.PENANAXI7ILLrvo8
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKiPlY2od9I
讀取能力精準得可怕,而且還有自動開新行功能。746Please respect copyright.PENANA7jBEuO0pf2
746Please respect copyright.PENANA3uT1n1M2Id
四眼仔是怎樣找到這樣強大的程式的?746Please respect copyright.PENANAUT4n0nBelI
746Please respect copyright.PENANAL09TamhJUZ
別管了,他這種人總有方法的。746Please respect copyright.PENANAcaTf7f0pkO
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWs094kZr3Z
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》。746Please respect copyright.PENANAzo9MlQNgCq
746Please respect copyright.PENANACXmRuuUWVO
要是說錯話就糟糕了,看來還有改善的地方。746Please respect copyright.PENANAiyIaKCpM8k
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHqf1PjqjUc
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAPgPp04uCL7
746Please respect copyright.PENANAMmMR7lohca
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAQcwKkwwMFv
746Please respect copyright.PENANA81mjtS7MJF
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAZYMOgwELpN
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4qITNNyULo
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAhMAGuobmes
746Please respect copyright.PENANApnpQuuLKt0
單吃一口放在最上層的魚柳,我不禁輕輕搖頭。746Please respect copyright.PENANAyrWxXd44ez
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHsBXmpgrsR
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANATdxoyU6n4K
746Please respect copyright.PENANAPWcASrz4s9
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:746Please respect copyright.PENANAasxifSIpcr
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4GJ0wZ4SdM
「有app咩?」(Name:無名)746Please respect copyright.PENANA2RfrtS5E5V

「安葬lol」(Name:豬肉佬)746Please respect copyright.PENANAIbBPsNqaPT
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnpQVktjWpM
嘛,看來app的廣告做得不夠大。746Please respect copyright.PENANAHtS18kHGXu
746Please respect copyright.PENANA8kIW56rXCt
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANADSVJLvvr52

「我屌爆你老母個屎眼」(Name:超級駭客)746Please respect copyright.PENANAUZe86vGMmq
746Please respect copyright.PENANASA4LdctflW
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA2TwZJsKoG0
746Please respect copyright.PENANAeketLSgQ98
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAdQEQAjdeWt
746Please respect copyright.PENANAccDbXheGzL
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA4VOM9OusHE
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFCwFUramAM
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!746Please respect copyright.PENANA5OhQir34z5

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」。746Please respect copyright.PENANA5dJUGX5tZq
746Please respect copyright.PENANAh3H40vPztd
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA3IWm75PVr4
746Please respect copyright.PENANALf0J1J8ksq
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAJgFnagj1fu
746Please respect copyright.PENANAqB3IPOUPyk
就這點,與現今網絡時代的形勢,實在有點不謀而合。746Please respect copyright.PENANASh5yVhvms4
746Please respect copyright.PENANAvFUoBAPklv
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAPwldXa7mRW
746Please respect copyright.PENANACYLnvMzmES
746Please respect copyright.PENANAhJgxBmW36Z
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:746Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xg4rZJrtD
746Please respect copyright.PENANAK93rNS8K5j
「網絡黑社會」746Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ0yPmXvmk
746Please respect copyright.PENANAN7KPUQZdwI
這就是我對它的第一印象,亦是促使我踏入埃利都的原因。746Please respect copyright.PENANAYR0IIvcPEJ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQMhMi94u5d
「點解入黑社會巴閉囉,英雄主義囉,疊馬囉。」746Please respect copyright.PENANAQv4Cwp4qZ1
746Please respect copyright.PENANASuiaVvEewZ
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA8LM2ICsHsa
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcMIKS2vSdu
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANACtaWuFPwEi
746Please respect copyright.PENANAPdLRvYg4Sl
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」。746Please respect copyright.PENANAlDl8sYA5Dz
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWHbvMcfOh5
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAIilugf2oPx
746Please respect copyright.PENANAfmOlXymY1W
可說是當時的一片樂土。746Please respect copyright.PENANAxiq23SSZrY
746Please respect copyright.PENANAccMPN8wgpc
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAs7iYrhFDRa
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWxS1Fmn4rn
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAe4qdfVoFq8
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlMJlhiGud6
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA80M1Y2E6dF
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcL6aEBaKhd
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAztLCLNUhlU
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2y0rxWWoAf
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAHYtwJjZjqr
746Please respect copyright.PENANABMcFODSSJs
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA0iw9V2tcBM
746Please respect copyright.PENANAH3YPDXIR3Z
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAcFwkMSeT5O

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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAYrWxjJkqMG
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcwDvvmrPNf
用餐過後,我在回公司的途中接到一通電話。746Please respect copyright.PENANAj9cE3CijJp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOfDYR7exlb
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAEjMXvlAIBa
746Please respect copyright.PENANAdiTEIcoKQK
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAq6DGxb8l6i
746Please respect copyright.PENANAI875TQBm9J
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANAq458zRzAvJ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAsAsUjNIudp
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。746Please respect copyright.PENANA6NkE6tKOVW
