Came across this on Moz's Firefox Extensions page. Interesting, a Web Server in your browser. Not really sure what your sposed to do when you decide to call it a day and your site goes down, but interesting nonetheless. I'm sure I'll get round to giving it a look some late night..
 Turn the web on its head with the Plain Old Webserver (POW), which adds a server to your browser.
Information and a tutorial for POW can be found at this wiki

The Plain Old Webserver uses Server-side Javascript (SJS) to run a server inside your browser. Use it to distribute files from your browser. It supports Server-side JS, GET, POST, uploads, Cookies, SQLite and AJAX. It has security features to password-protect your site. Users have created a wiki, chat room and search engine using SJS.
This version includes:
* Documentation to show you how to build a Server-side Javascript program.
* Added security to prevent arbitrary file reads.
