Etz Haim may be one of the following:
- the "Tree of Life", an archetype and a symbol of all life on Earth,
- a benevolent spirit dwelling inside Wikipedia,
- or the material form of the latter, being Niko from Thessaloniki, Greece.

I'm a native speaker of Greek. I also speak English, French and my own pidgin version of Spanish with Thessalonikan Ladino influences. I'm able to read and understand several European languages, especially Romance languages like Italian and Portuguese. I have a powerful obsession with English words that have Greek etymology and loan translations from Greek to English; to see what I mean, take a look at this. |
Technical information
![]() |
My operating system distribution is SuSE Linux 9.0 and my browser is Mozilla Firefox 1.0 (get the update). I use AbiWord and OpenOffice.org for my word processing and spell-checking (uh... not always, so double check my articles for any mistakes). For graphics and image processing, I use the GIMP, version 2+, and Inkscape 0.39. I don't contribute GIFs to Wikipedia, I convert them using ESR's gif2png. My favorite digital audio editor is Audacity. Since mp3 is patent-crippled, I encode sound clips to the Ogg Vorbis standard, using a low bitrate to conserve space and bandwidth. See also Wikipedia:Sound. NEW: For power user technical tips, go to the Tech Corner. I'd like to learn how to use a geographic information system to create maps on my own. |

In Ladino:
In English:
These are the actual words of Rabbi Svi Koretz before the Holocaust, as preserved in a testimony by Anrietta Molho. The Jews of Thessaloniki were oblivious of what their fate would be in the Nazi death camps. |
