[time-nuts] I love the smell of tantalum in the morning

[Mark Sims]

The best way to hand solder small SMT parts is to put a blob of solder on one 
pad,  position the part,  old it down with something (fingernail works well, 
maybe tweezers),  then touch that pad/solder blob with the iron.  The blob 
should melt and the part should push down into the blob.  Make sure the part is 
aligned, then go to town soldering the remaining pads. Go back and touch up the 
blob pad.
