Researching Peter Miller

Along with Peter F. Bell, Miller was Fremantle's first signing in late 1994. A small rover, he managed 16 games in 1995 but surprisingly retired from the AFL at the end of the season. After a short break from football, he returned to East Perth and was later appointed captain. He played a total of 176 games for East Perth between 1988 and 1998, winning the FD Book Medal in 1992 and 1998, but retired having played in only one grand final, which was a narrow loss to Claremont in 1996.

His credits have included the television series MVP, Virginie and Lance et Compte, and the films Mambo Italiano and Rouge sang. Miller portrayed Galeazzo Maria Sforza in the 2009 short-film series Assassin's Creed: Lineage.

Miller graduated from the Neighborhood Playhouse in Manhattan, New York City. He was born in Chibougamau, Quebec and spent part of his childhood in the Bahamas. His mother is of French descent and his father is of Irish descent. He is anglophone-francophone bilingual.

He is also a former professional football player in the Canadian Football League. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 1992 CFL draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders and played six seasons in the CFL with the Roughriders, BC Lions, and Toronto Argonauts as a linebacker; he played college football for Pacific.

Born in Norwich, England, he has lived in San Francisco since 1972. He is a veteran of the 1960s English pop music, starting out with a rock & roll band called the Offbeats, who recorded an EP in 1958, and joining the beat group Peter Jay & the Jaywalkers in 1961.

He has toured with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and most of the rest of the British Invasion. He released one of the first English psychedelic songs ("Cold Turkey") which placed his name in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A copy of "Cold Turkey" sold for £250 at Sotheby's Rock and Roll auction in London.

His 1965 record "Baby I Got News for You" on Columbia Records is also a sought-after collector's item. David Wells, owner of the British archival Tenth Planet record label has released four albums of Miller's 1960s music. They have been released by Dionysus Records and Gear Fab Records in the U.S. Recent releases are also on Raucous Records and Double Crown records. His recording studio in San Francisco recorded the early San Francisco punk scene. Miller is also the founder and CEO of the Audio Institute of America, an online recording engineer school which has taught thousands of students from more than 130 countries around the world.

Miller's laws are:

# The number of interactions within a development team is O(n!) without controlled access to the baseline. If the development team does have controlled access to the baseline, interactions can be reduced to near O(n), where n is the number of developers and/or files in the source tree, whichever is larger.# The baseline MUST always be in working order.# The software build/construction process can be reduced to a directed, acyclical graph (DAG).# It is necessary to build a rigid framework of selected components (aka the top level aegis design).# The framework should not do any real work, and should instead delegate everything to external components. The external components should be as interchangeable as possible.# The framework should use the Strategy pattern for most complex tasks.
