It’s the middle of the year and I shudder to open up my New Year’s Resolution I made on Dec 31, 2006. Well here it is and let’s see what has already been accomplished and have NOT been accomplished:-
2007 New Year’s Resolution
Originally uploaded by gilachess.
Improve GilaChess.com usefulness & popularity(target average daily hits at 10,000 up from last year’s 3000 hits).
Launch GilaChess radio.
Better coverage of Dato Arthur Tan’s Malaysia Open 2007 (compared to 2006 which was awful).
Promote chess by using the web as medium to teach chess to beginners (e-learning)-Gilachess cyber classroom / academy ?
Better coverage for GACC.
Promote more chess websites by helping to set them up.
Attain at least 1800 on WCN and on National rating list.
Make enough money from blogging to retire and have more time for family, friends and chess!
Create better versions of Chess Publisher.
Set up at least 20 new and different chess websites.
Be able to visualise the chess board without looking at the chess board to be able to read chess books without setting up the pieces.
Make more chess friends locally and internationally.
More screencasts or chess videos to teach beginners basic topics like using chess software such as databases, analysis with chess engines, sundry chess endings, etc.
Lose the ‘beer belly’.
Be at least half as good in blogging as Closet Grandmaster and Susan Polgar.
Build more online community tools such as forums, wiki and online chess playing sites.
Upgrade programming knowledge(AJAX, Flash, Ruby on Rails, PHP /Cake) to further build better and cool tools for chess.
Get enough money to send yet another 2 teams in the Merdeka Team Championship 2007.
Learn better time management skills to ensure everthing mentioned above have half a chance of successful completion.
Phew, that was a long list. I’ve never really made any new year resolution before. I will cross out each item as it is completed on this page itself.
