Welcome to Perceptual Motion

Welcome to Perceptual Motion, also known as robwhalley.co.uk. This is the personal website of Rob Whalley, and at present it contains articles on Linux, cross platform development, and some links to open source software. I also use this site to display gallery images and other media.

This site was hosted on a Joomla content management system a while back, but that either broke or got hacked so I went back to hand coding (it's good for me to stay in practice!). Please note I'm still adding content to the site and it's slow going with so many other distractions and responsibilities, but it's coming together slowly.

Site History

Originally, this site provided links to free software, which was the inspiration for the name 'Perceptual Motion'. The idea was to provide a resource to highlight well developed, spyware free software that could be downloaded and used free of charge. Hence, Perceptual Motion - changing perceptions, trying to demonstrate that with a minimum of effort, a wide selection of free software was available to fulfill the majority of most users' needs. Shortly into its life the website also became home to a forum that was mostly centred around making modifications to a PC game called Morrowind. That forum moved home to Calislahn's website, but is no longer available.

The Future

The basic design of the website is now complete. I need to upload source code and binaries for a simple GTKmm timer I created, plus more articles on Linux. As yet, I haven't added any music or video onto the site, so that will be one of the next major updates I think.

Thanks for looking in on the site.

Rob.
