Revert the Revert, brilliant

Greetings, Intellij IDEA9.0 has a great Local History feature. It keeps track of your changes, you can give a name to a change, and you can revert to an old change.

Even better it doesn't rewind everything, it adds a revert action as the last action, so that you can revert your revert!

It lets me send out a fix for review part 1 and then work on part 2 immediately w/o checking in.

Brilliant.

Method Statistics

Greetings, this is going to be a programmer's post again.

I've been reading Code Complete and just finished a section on method statistics. These include complexity measurements as well as line count, variable count and maximum nesting.

These values should be computed by the IDE and available for easy reference. I'm going to look for a plugin and see if this has been done already.

Desktop on a Cloud

Greetings. I've noticed that my personal computation requirements are starting to go up quite dramatically. For example, I could practically use a separate computer just to run my IDE by itself. However the interface for such a setup with RDP would be terrible. What I need is a cloud desktop, where different windows could be running on physically separate (but most likely local lan) machines. To put it another way, I need my desktop to seemlessly integrate the computing power of a small cloud.
