A friend of mine showed me a project he was working on, and the stripboard he'd soldered to had its tracks split into 3-hole blocks. A little like this:
=o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o=
=o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o=
=o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o=
=o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o= =o=o=o=
(apologies for the terrible ASCII-art)
He can't remember where he got it from, but it looks incredibly useful! I've tried searching my usual sources (Farnell / RS / eBay) but I can't find it.
Does this stuff have a proper name?

When you take a look on Wikipedia, they call it 'TriPad'
Trying to search with it on Farnell/Digikey/RS doesn't bring up any hits. Here they doesnt seem to give this kind of board a special name. Digikey gives you a filter option '3 Hole Pad' thou.
