A few comments for those playing at home: 1) Use less solder. When you get boards done at the pcb house, they usually put a solder mask. There is enough solder on the pads that you can solder SMD parts without adding more.
Just flux it with a fluxpen, lay the part on top, and remelt it. Much neater and much faster. You just have to check that there is actually enough solder on the pad to make a solid joint (a light and a magnifier help to verify).
2) Always clean the flux off, even if it's no-clean.
3) Autorouters produce less than ideal results. If you start with an autorouter pass, you can then go back and tear up lines and reposition parts to use fewer vias and straighter lines.
When I first started doing pcbs I wanted to use autorouters, but the results were always ugly. I met a guy who had done a 6-layer ARM board in some old DOS program manually which convinced me it probably wasn't that big of a deal to route by hand. It's calming if nothing else.
