New Phone
This is my first blog from my new mobile phone, the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been waiting for ages for my contract to run out so I could update my phone from my old Nokia E63 running Symbian. This new phone is running Android and its ace!!
Had the phone a couple of days now and have went a bit App crazy and am in tech heaven. One small complaint with the phone so far is the battery which seems to run out way too quickly but that could be because I'm downloading so much and trying out all the new Apps.

1911 Census of Scotland Online | History Today
Data was collected for over 4.7 million Scots. Mechanical tabulation was also used for the first time in the form of Hollerith machines, which incorporated a punch card system. More information could thus be collected and the census asked additional questions about the occupation of the head of the household, for example, their marital status, the duration of their marriage and about the children living in the household. The statistics were reported in record time, in five volumes published between 1911 and 1913.
According to the 1911 Census, the Scottish population was 4,759,445. The number of males was 2,307,603; the number of females was 2,451,842. The Scottish population was growing quickly at the time in part due to better health care and the resulting improvements in child mortality rates and to immigration. Since the previous census in 1901, the total population had increased by six per cent. The population had tripled since the first census, in 1801, which recorded a population of 1,608,420.
