We went with friends for a bit of surfing at Piha a week ago. It is a great place, not only for surfing, just a great place. A few more friends joined us later on and we went for a walk to see the rocks and waves. Two of them went pretty close to the waves, dangerous stuff.
There are always reports of fishermen being swept to the sea from those rocks.
December, Summer is Here
In case you forgot, some of Aspose employees are living upside down, having summer in December, and overall, doing lots of things differently.
Just to tease you all, summer is very nice in New Zealand, I love it, and it is here, almost.
Although I plan to work a lot as usual, it is a very relaxing feeling anyway. We are going to catch a lot of time at the beach and in the water since it is all so close.

Moving to a New Blog
This blog is about Aspose.Words Releases and other useful posts about Aspose.Words from its developers.
This blog started out as “individual” (under my name), but because our development team grows and we would like several developers to be able to publish useful information about Aspose.Words, we are starting a new blog that is a team blog.
For all further posts, please go to the Aspose.Words Blog.

Aspose.Words: We Eat Our Own Dog Food
We now use Aspose.Words in the process of generating documentation for Aspose products.
We prepare documentation in Microsoft Word documents, and then use some logic plus Aspose.Word’s capability to convert DOC to HTML to produce HTML and CHM documentation.
The first documentation project built this way is Feature Overview for Aspose.Editor. Next in line is migration of all Aspose.Words documentation to this technology. Other Aspose components are likely to follow too.
Uploaded Nice Feature Overview for Aspose.Editor
Please see http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Editor/Api/Index.html?url=FeatureOverview.html
This documentation is generated using a set of tools we’ve devloped. If you like it, then documentation for all Aspose components is going to follow this suit.
