そして事件は起きた
だが、今回の失敗には悪意が介在する。そう私の純粋な失敗と言うよりはむしろ事件であり犯行、睡眠不足とはいえ、そのよくある手口にまんまとひっかかったことが失敗だった。
'85年に300bpsモデムでパソコン通信を始めた頃から「なりすまし」はよくあるネット犯罪の1つ。
自分では絶対にひっかからないという自信があったし、普段なら絶対に引っかからないはずなのだが、人間誰しも弱っているときがあり、そこに別の要因がからむと、ありえないことがおこると学ばされた。
Last night, I was waiting for a bus at Shibuya Station listening to the tunes of street musicians playing near the bus stop. After two songs, she folded her score notes and halted. Just then another street musician standing about 20 ft away from here started playing. I've noticed these two were taking turns to play their music.
At first, I wondered why these two don't stand further away so both can be playing at the same time. But then I've noticed the girl has always been playing at the same spot at least on every Thursday. She has her own spot where all her fans gather around. I don't remember seeing the other guy but perhaps, it was his spot.
Seeing these two and imagining how they have made this protocol reminded me of how I've iChatted with my friend over an iSight.
