Semi-random tech link of the day: FreeBSD ports now default to Python 2.6. Yay. You could always force FreeBSD to use a specific Python version -- edit /etc/make.conf and add the line PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 or whatever version you like.

I smell a skunk nearby. No, really, they like to walk down the sidewalk past my office window. Unpleasant, but not nearly as bad as having them spray the house. And this leads me to the skunk control tip of the day: do not try to dissuade two skunks from fighting at 2am in the morning below your kitchen window by throwing water at them.
