Oscar Vermeulen's Personal Web Site
Since you're here, you are probably looking for vintage computers,
quantitative investment analysis, Hurley sailing boats, Suzuki cars or
video games. If you are interested in me rather than my pastimes: I was
born in Holland in 1968, studied Economics, and now work as an
investment manager in Switzerland. Details are here,
and here...
Vintage Computers
I've
always been a computer hobbyist and over the years, I've gathered a
nice collection of machines that shaped the microcomputer revolution
since the late Seventies. Here are some pages dedicated to CP/M
and my personal computer collection. Some of my obscure hacking projects are implementing CP/M on a modern eZ80 board, and hacking the modern DTV back into a C64.
Personal Video Game Favourites
Yes, yes. I
play video games. Let's be intellectual about it, shall we?
This page showcases my favourite games from the past 20 years, taken
from my out-of-control games collection.
Hurley Sailing Boats
I
bought a Hurley 22 sailing boat in 1996, and became an enthusiast.
Nothing cleans the mind like a day on the water. Although I can't claim
to be a great expert in sailing, I did set up the web site for the
Hurley Owners' Association. You can find that site here,
with a more personal take here.
The SA-310 Suzuki Swift Memorial Page
As
an 18-year old, I got a Suzuki Swift and for 12 years afterwards, I
drove this fantastic little 3-cylindre microcar. It brought me to over
20 countries, driving through Ukranian dirt roads and German Autobahns
without fail. A great love story with a sad end, this one!
Quantitative Investment Analysis (Under Construction)
I
work in investment management. This industry is being revolutionised by
two major trends: (1) a more scientific approach to portfolio
management, that is slowly taking over the thinking part of this
industry and (2) the power of computing, which enables quantitative
analysis as never before.
