Some Of The Most Recent Stuff Thats Happened...

17th March 2004 - Curry Recipe
Long time, no flap. Its been a while and I've only popped back to add a little recipe of a curry I tried to make. You can find it here. Enjoy but don't destroy!

26th October 2003 - Finally Back Up And Running
Its been a while but Taking It Easy is back again. Been too busy to sort out the site. But its back again just so I can leave it festering for a few more months :)

27th January 2003 - New Tips Do-Da for DVD Player Problems
Just added a new tip thingy to the Tricks and Tips page. Basically in a nutshell its about how to get a DVD to play on a multi-region Toshiba SD210E, although this may apply to other players also. Looks like the copy-protection boys knackered it for some of us multi-region owners, even though its a legitimate Region 2 DVD being played in a Region 2 zone (yeah, I know its a multi-region player but you know what I mean).

4th January 2003 - Happy New Flaps
Ok, long time since last update, just soooooo busy. Happy New Year y'all. Some of the busy bee stuff is because of www.uber1337.co.uk Which is the best place for superior clan servers, who run leagues and competitions with great prizes.

13th October 2002 - Auto Updater Updated!
Fixed a dumb bug in AutoUpdater which caused the update file to be downloaded twice if the -noinfo switch was used.

12th August 2002 - nVidia Refresh Rate Fix
So you have the latest nVidia drivers? You've tried to fix that stupid 60Hz refresh rate problem and it didn't work with the tool you found because it supports only an older version of the Denonator drivers? Well fear not, give this tool a try. It can be found on the Tricks and Tips page.

23rd June 2002 - What A Busy Boy
Its like I've just realised I have a website and I've pulled my finger out to get a few things done on it lol. Well I've added an intro page...ok not very clever but its only using javascript so c'mon give us a break. Hope you enjoyed the Sheep On Drugs sound bite. Oh and I've finally imported the old guestbook data, re-formatted the layout and fixed that damn date problem with the guestbook, so why not pop along and sign it.

22nd June 2002 - Updated Grab Section
A few little things done to the grab section. Also put up the EXE and sourcecode for the AutoUpdater program. A useful little tool/add-on for downloading zip packages and installing them etc.

21st June 2002 - Quick Hello
Changed a couple of things in the layout. I did actually put more pictures up of the clan meet in the gallery a while ago but forgot to update this page hehe. Take it easy...

1st June 2002 - =Plotz= Clan Meet Gallery
First of many pictures from the holy =Plotz= clan. Check out the pix in the gallery. Pictures of the hound Fallen is supposed to pull will be up later ;)

20th May 2002 - [E-F-E] Clan Meet Gallery
Probably not a good idea that you look at these pictures in the new gallery but what the heck, just make sure you have a sick bag ready. Stick around for more because I've found some from last years meet for Stephs 18th Birthday plus at the end of the month expect some sordid scenes from the =Plotz= clan meet. You just better hope Fallen keeps his todger to himself, God only knows what he is going to be bringing back.

3rd April 2002 - Server Scrutiniser V0.7.15
Lots of updates to the Scrutiniser, nicknamed Screwt by =Plotz=Peanut. So many updates I've not been able to post enough news items to cover them! Use the in program 'Update' button or get the full install here. Note that the full install will sometimes be a few builds behind the latest. Simply click that 'Update' button.

25th March 2002 - New Version of Scrutiniser
Already a new version! This one comes with two new skins. Use the in program 'Update' button or get the full install here.

24th March 2002 - Mr.J's Server Scrutiniser is Here!
Been spending a little bit of time writing a server monitor for RTCW. Also had to get back into C++ for the auto updater :( Well its still beta and is bound to need loadsa stuff doing to it but go take a look here.
