Default Scaling Recipes?

I live alone, but I enjoy cooking and I'm inspired by a lot of the recipes
and techniques I see in the NG and in all the other foodie sources around
the web. The problem is, so many of the recipes that looks interesting
make enough to feed the entire 82nd Airborne Division, with leftovers for
Seal Team Six. I'd like to scale down some of these recipes for 1 or 2
people. But how? I mean, I'm relatively civilized and have enough grasp
of basic arithmetic to scale the amounts of ingredients. But there's more
to it than that. Cooking container sizes? Cooking times and temperatures?

Any tips or advice from the gurus out there?
