RodRego finds a new home.

Prof. Daniel Dennett was looking for a new home for his RodRego software application that would provide him with an easy to remember URL and a site that he could easily update should the need arise.

RodRego is a “register machine simulator illustrating the computational capabilites of the INC/DEB language model” that was developed for Prof. Dennett by the folks here at Educational and Scholarly Technical services.

I recommend reading the article “Secrets of Computer Power Revealed 2008″ that is linked to from his new site. You’ll get an understanding for how the simplest of machines and languages can perform complex functions.

What I did:

1. Created a new WordPress site: http://sites.tufts.edu/rodrego .
2. Requested the domain name “http://rodrego.tufts.edu” from Tufts Web Communications.
3. Once I got the go ahead from Web Comm I forwarded that to our sys. admin who then requested the DNS updates from Tufts Network group.
4. Once that was set up our sys. admin took care of the redirect on our WordPress server.

Access the site here: http://RodRego.tufts.edu.
