The Angle on Obtuse
Obtuse Software, LLC was founded by the developers of zigGIS to support the continued development and improvement of zigGIS. Obtuse is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia (in Abe's living room to be specific) but development is performed in a distributed manner from Virginia, Maryland, Rome, Italy or any place else that Abe, Bill and Paolo may be sitting.
Our goal is to continue enhancing zigGIS with new features and new data sources. We may develop other products in the future as well.
The content of this site will be expanded somewhat organically based upon the direction of zigGIS and Obtuse. We look forward to your feedback on zigGIS, Obtuse, this site or just about anything else.
Abe Gillespie
Abe has been writing code since the womb. How? Technology. His love for GIS blossomed at college while working for a small Engineering Services company. You could often find him there slaving into the wee hours creating countless Avenue scripts and ArcIMS / ArcObjects hacks.
Abe first cooked up zigGIS in Blacksburg, Virginia circa 2005 in a kitchen. Literally. (It was a small apartment). Fortunately the internets have a good memory and zigGIS was not forgotten. Abe rejoined the project after moving to Richmond, Virginia for a soulless job which he promptly quit. Currently he is the president of Digital Pulp and part owner of Obtuse Software. GIS consulting and zigGIS are now his full time job.
