The Rimrocked Blog

Today the fine folks at rimrocked are proud, excited and a little frightened to announce the future of GPS and mapping through rimrocked’s revolutionary new mapping through ASCII. There was a time not long ago when every pixel on a map was represented by a limiting square. Sure the square might be small and colourful, but it was just a square. With rimrocked and ‘the power of ASCII’ (TM) those pixel’s days are numbered. Freeing users from the tyranny of the box, ASCII characters replace each pixel for a mapping experience unlike any other. But don’t take our word for it, take Andrew’s:

According to rimrocked cxo, Andrew Draper, “Up until now we’ve been limited by pixels, with the addition of 255 characters this will really take the web surfing experience to the next level, it’s a quantum leap in computing .”, Andrew says

“Yes, we’re bringing it all together” responded Amit.

While mobile computing platforms have been rushing to bring 2D and 3D to handheld devices, they’ve missed the crucial 1D user experience.

“What do Apple’s iPod nano, Nintendo’s Wii and the next big thing all have in common? They’ve all mastered the dimension of dimensions” Amit Nandi from rimrocked says obtusely. “They are so far gone in their respective dimension categories, that they’re not even there.” Indeed. Citing ‘responsiveness’, ‘unparalleled rates of refresh’, and ‘class-leading memory consumption’ Andrew goes on to expound the advantages of this modern-day miracle.

When pressed for a working demo of rimAscii (pronounced Rim-raz-key), Andrew pointed to www.asciimaps.com. “Well, it’s true we didn’t develop this technology, but they’re the equivalent of google maps. We believe that we’re the first people even thinking of licensing this technology and have a killer application for their building block technology.”

Added Amit, “We think this will perfectly position us to be of great interest to potential investors.”

Time will only tell.
