My hobbies are: 1-Computer programming: During my residency back in 1989 I had bought my first computer. It was a commodore PC 10 with 640 KB RAM and 20 MB hard disc. The same year I attended computer programming courses on ms gwbasic and ms cobol and I got programmers certificate in both of them.

And In 2010 I translated OpenEMR into Turkish. 2-Music: I played mandolin, baglama (Turkish folk instrument with 3 strings and a narrow long arm.)flute since my early childhood. 3-Swimming: I am not at all a challenging swimmer. But I have always been very unsuccessful and consequently unintrested in every branch of sports that swimming is the only sport I do personally. 4-Gardening: While I was a child my parents had bought a hobby garden and we had cultivated it several years. When I was grown up I did similar in 1998 and now I have a small house on a 650 square meters house in Bahsili, Kirikkale. So my children too were able to see plants and trees growing and getting old. Thanks for reading.
