    Its fine, we just embedded tables inside an iframe column inside the table of a frame. Also, we coded it all in ColdFusion. It's fine, everything is fine. house burns down

    This is such a neat little idea, I really like this project, it brings back simple design considerations. But it is framed entirely wrong. This is wasteful web hosting, not sustainable design....

    This is such a neat little idea, I really like this project, it brings back simple design considerations. But it is framed entirely wrong.

    sustainable web design

    This is wasteful web hosting, not sustainable design. There is no breakdown of costs for all of the equipment required to setup a solar powered web server, no cost of maintenance and part replacement over a 5, 10, 20 year period, no energy use comparison that analyzes actual watt hours against a larger hosted system that can host thousands of similar 'simple' site designs on a single full sized server. Utilizing dedicated hardware for a single site is an Achilles heel for any claim of sustainability.

    I like where the author's head is at, but feel like the project was too focused around generating content for an article rather than fully exploring how to achieve a sustainable solution that is as efficient as more robust solutions built on larger infrastructure platforms. Its efficient for the sake of power during well lit daylight hours, but that's the edge of it's efficiency.

    Cheers.
