What is ZionGreen.net?

This server is what I call ZionGreen, an energy-efficient test-bed for web development. It runs several instances of both Apache and IIS, between them allowing for development in PHP and ASP.NET in their native platforms.

Combining the power of Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V allows the use of a range of technologies for testing and development (some examples beside).

If it's not clear by now, this is indeed a side project of Kashi Samaraweera. I like to maintain my workspace in such a way that testing and development is a painelss excercise.

The name was chosen on a whim. An obvious predilection to the Wachowski brothers' Matrix series notwithstanding, the conflincing ideals of an energy-efficient server (i.e., a computer that is on all the time - but not used all the time) seemed like an unachieveable a goal.

I'm afraid this single page is as many pages that are available to the World Wide Web without authentication. So unless you're a keen hacker or very good at guessing passwords I'm afraid that's it!

    Now that the blog's server-side is completely functional, I'm thinking about redesigning this site.A ground-up rebuild took 2.5 months, a re-design surely shouldn't take that long.

    A nice, clean three-page HTML page - just the way I like it.
    I used some simple JavaScripting and AJAX to handle the interactivity, and hand-wrote a PHP validation & mailer class to handle the form submission.
