Step 12LED on Pin 13 and... DONE!
In classic Arduino style, I have soldered in an LED to digital pin 13 (which is pin 19 of the IC). You could of course solder the LED to any part of the board and run wire to GND and pin 13, I am just lazy in this case and put it right on the pin itself.
Making sure that there is no short between PWR and GND rails, and that you have exactly 5v running through the board, insert the chip into the socket. Be aware of the notch! Power up the board, and if all is well you should see S.O.S. start to flash on any LEDs connected to digital pins! Success! All ready to embed into projects!
Another great thing worth noting about this board is the 4 holes in each corner. Standoffs are a very professional way to mount your board to a project and can prevent any potential shorting of your circuit.
Good luck and post up a comment with any projects you embed with your own perfboard hackduino!

I'm wondering if you happen to have a way to upload sketches to these chips without having a duemilanove to pull and place chips in.

Oh, just a little tip ...I use both a red and black sharpie to trace the top of the board for power and ground traces . It make it easy to know what is VCC and what is Ground as you build your circuit.
