USBASP programmer working on Windows 7 x64

It as not my brightest moment, but it has improved out computing experience at home, upgrading my XP to Windows 7. BUT, it broke the Usb driver, because Microsoft decided that signing all drivers without exclusion will improve the customer computing experience... I hate going outside the box to break my system, but I need my usb programmer to work so... Solution: 1. download driver from http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/ 2. Plug in device, browse path to downlaoded files 3. Install fails... no worry. 4. download DSO version 3b from http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo 5. Run it, and select "sign a driver". browse to the driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\libusb0.sys 6. Put DSO into test mode 7. Reboot - it (should) now work I think you can skip step 5

Even the stuff that is sorted at the recycling centre is still really inefficient. So I feel sad about all of the waste, but there you have it.

Saw chain sharpening notes

chain depth gauges So today it's sharpening the chainsaw or "saw chain" sharpening notes day. I loaned a machine similar to this one in the video right at the bottom and used that as a tutorial. All photos here are mine own. This is a titan 20" https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttl760chn-50cm-49cc-petrol-chainsaw/687fh petrol unit. I have an electric saw, but that is a self-sharpener, so not relevant here today. If you are in a hurry, just scroll down to the video at the bottom. I also looked at the hand sharpening, and as in many of the videos I found a discrepancy, most people sharpen at 30° , even though when I checked, my manufacturer states 25° angle. If going by hand is your thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjmpNTVH6U shows how to use a neat little hand sharpener. Once again people don't use the same angle, so check and decide once. However I had this tool available to me to loan, so off I went. It takes a while to get the grinding disk en...
