Top Cloud Analysts

A subjective list of the top cloud analysts. Keep in mind that I worked at both RedMonk and Gartner, so you can take my biases into account.

• Lydia Leong - @cloudpundit [blog] - Hands down the best cloud analyst out there. Started covering cloud when most of then analyst firms thought that cloud would be vapourized by the legacy vendors.
• RedMonk - The entire team, but a special call out to Stephen O'Grady. His book The New KingMakers showed the world we all now operate in before many vendors and enterprises even knew what devrel or cloud was.
• Charles Fitzpatrick [blog] - This is solely for the "Follow the CapEx" series Charles updates, but this

Pubs

All of these pubs are within 20 minutes walk of each other in the city center. Its a subjective list, everyone has their own preferences in Dublin. The common thread is these pubs tend not to have music or TVs. All added to this map.

• Mulligans, Poolbeg St - this is probably my favourite pub in Dublin, its a little off the beaten track but it features in Joyces Ulysses.
• Stags Head - just across Dame Street from the Temple Bar area, a wonderful old style Victorian pub.
• Peters Pub - one of the smallest, but most professional, pubs in the city, on South William Street near Grafton St.
• Nearys - just off Grafton Street, another Victorian pub, downstairs is lovely.
• Kehoes - just off Grafton Street, can get very busy.

TL; DR - running out of disk space on your Mac, try a safe reboot to 
properly clear /var/folders.

I noticed I was just about out of disk space on my Mac earlier, and digging 
around noticed that /var/folders was huge. 

cd /var/folders;  sudo du -shc
