A graduated pharmacist, Rita moved from Lebanon to Paris a few months ago to pursue a masters in genetics and biotechnology. Currently researching the relations between proprotein convertases and cancer chemotherapy, her other occupations range from writing poetry and literature, to goofing around, imitating ninjas, killing Roman soldiers, watching movies, inventing fast-and-delicious recipes, and playing as many The Rasmus or Kyo songs as your ears could tolerate, like her last.fm account would testify.
Rita has always been enthusiastic about technologies, and is known in her surroundings as the go-to person when something goes wrong on the computer, tv, microwave, stereo, or anything that has an electricity plug or a battery. She joined the mobile scene in 2006, when she got her Nokia 3250 and discovered that there is more than meets the eye in this small ordinary phone. That’s how she fell in love with Symbian, S60, Nokia, Smartphones, Convergence and started her first Dotsisx blog on Vox in January 2007 which was later moved to Blogger in June 2007, both sites being no longer active but still available for reference and for Google Search’s pleasure. The name Dotsisx was born from the .sisx extension of applications that are installed on Nokia S60 3rd Edition smartphones.
Rita later joined Symbian-Guru in December 2007 and is still an active Editor on the site, where she handles reviews, editorials, tips regarding S60 and Nokia phones, applications and services. Since then, Rita has also been contributing her mobile device knowledge to FoneArena.
Her proudest achievements were to win the Insight category from the “Show Your S60 Smarts” competition held by the official S60 blogs, and to be interviewed by The Wall Street Journal (she still giggles at that thought).
Rita started The Dotsisx Blog as a personal site to share and discuss the nice discoveries she makes online, as well as everything that goes by her mind.
