Myminicity after 7 years - Scraze

Anyone still playing Myminicity? I am! It is an on-off affairs over the past 7 years, and I must say I've picked up the 'game' again in recent weeks. The interest waned when I couldn't exactly see the new 'buildings' on the game map, but the minute I noticed any differences, my interest in this simple game picked up again. :)

Just a short summary about Myminicity - it's a browser game where each city is denoted by a name e.g. scraze.myminicity.com, and via the 'post fix' behind the name, any visitor could help to grow the city in terms of 'industry', ' security', ' transport', 'environment' and 'commerce'.  Without use of the 'post fix', each visit would merely help to increase the population size. Each visit is counted based on the unique IP address per day. For those who are interested to find out more about this browser game, I've done a previous blog post about the myminicity mechanics.


The above picture is how my myminicity city looks like currently - picture patched up from multiple screenshot of the growing city. :)

Mazda Website Hacked - Singapore

I was looking for Mazda car price and keyed in Singapore Mazda in Google search when I saw that it was being hacked, i.e. the text for the website appeared as shown below (see red box):

Mazda website hacked

I chose to clicked on the Mazda website, and it appeared fine. Apparently the website was restored, i.e. I found some news article about it, but the search result text still shows the hacked version. Hopefully the crawl bots would crawl the restored site, and revert with the original non-hacked text.
