your answer is a good answer,and that what i do

in most of case the square is +
for example from tinyCylon

The longer lead of each LED,
called the "anode", goes in the hole in the PCB with the square shape. The shorter lead, called
the "cathode", goes in the hole with the round shape. Now find the line of holes along the edge
of the PCB where the LEDs are supposed to be installed. Notice that half of the holes have a
round shape and the other half have a square shape.

buffalo is different as Brian said
