Nautilus desktop problem in Openbox

If you are using Openbox and if time to time nautilus blocks your menus; you should just type this in the terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

do not run with "sudo" since you want to change the settings for the current user

Ubuntu-Wine Office 2003 and 2007 together

From now on, I will post my experiences on Ubuntu, so I can find my solutions to problems later on...
My first post is on having Office 2003 and Office 2007 on Ubuntu with Wine 1.5.

Every time I open Word 2003 after 2007 or vice versa, it tries to reinstall certain files. It was annoying...
Here is a good solution that worked for me:

From terminal write
regedit

The opening window is the classic regedit we have on windows
In the Regedit window select:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options

Then from the menu:
Edit>New> DWORD value
add NoReReg with value 1
So my line looks like
NoReReg        REG_DWORD     0x00000001 (1)
Do the same for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options

Erciyes(Kayseri) is one of the important touristic places in Turkey. I was only there for a meeting, but framed this photo to share.

Another Busy Period

This is my desk:) Currently I moved to a new address in Bahceli, started my third semester for my graduate studies. My advisor looked to me hopelessly, yet there is no faint in my self esteem. "I will do it, don't worry" I said. He answered "I hope so":)
I am sailing for another season to conquer a stormy chapter of my life. Wow:)

North East Turkey

As the picture looks great, the way to there was not easy. Highlands of Artvin are like Rainforest.
For the past week, I was there. Today, in Ankara again.
