[sdiy] Building on Pad Per Hole?

[Rude 66]

ok, thanks for the explanation. so the 'air wires' are the connections to
make.

another interesting variation on these diy-boards are the premade ones for
ic's.. i've used a few that have standard copper traces on the back, like
from a 14-pin ic to other holes. these things can save you a lot of time if
you're doing standard things..
