Yes, it was definitely on the Sparkfun site - although I didn't try to look for it again. I use FreePCB, always design my own footprints, and ever since I read it I have always offset one of the holes on any of my .100" headers by 5 mils. It works great.

Well, this playful German fellow made it to our house.
I recall reading an article about offsetting the circuit board pads in standard .1 header circuit layout to make the pins actually connect to the feed thru material instead of just being in at random.
It forces the header to sit straight on the board.
Now I just cannot remember where was this published. I though on Spartkfun site , but I just cannot find it there.
.
Of course Mr Google does not want to help! I am stuck.
Anybody run over this article?
Reason I am looking for it - they did include the new developed component library for Eagle PCB.
Sorry to bug you with my forgetfulness.
