So you’ll get some crazy errors if you’re using the theme support plugin w/ the patch explained here. You’ll need to change your render_file method to look like this (thanks to Nate’s comment for making the code work for everybody):

]

@finder.prepend_view_path(search_path)
local_assigns[’active_theme’] = get_current_theme(local_assigns)
theme_support_old_render_file(template_path, use_full_path, local_assigns)

end

In December of last year, Jeremiah and I started a company, Navoty. We’ve learned a ton since then. Here’s a few items:

This leads to a few things: burnout (who can sustain 70-90 hour weeks?), angry families (wives and kids need attention!), and unrealistic expectations. We were doing lots of work and getting paid for it, but the short term income boost was met with the realization that we were fairly strapped and … Continue Reading

I’m wiring up Navoty’s blog so that it’s a Yahoo pipe and comes from all of our blogs that are categorized as Navoty. I’ll post an update with a link as soon as it works.
