Moving away from chess
This year has been great for me as I got to see many major chess tournaments such as the DATMO, Philippines Open and the World Youth in Vietnam. That has come at a cost because I’ve passed over several lucrative web projects. Basically I’ve been trading my time for money in chess. However, with the cold winds of recession coming, I have to get as much additional income to weather out this difficult times. Now, I don’t have the luxury of passing over a project because it is too tedious or boring. Luckily the projects I rejected early this year is still being offered to me. Apparently it’s hard to find people who are willing or qualified. The next project I’ll be undertaking is something I used to hate the most. Code cleanup. I’ve been doing that over 3 years in my previous job so I guess even though I hate it, it’s something I’m very accustomed to. I won’t be involved in helping out at tournaments for a while. No more trading time for money. I’ll still maintain my chess websites and offer some new paid advertising spots on the sites. I’ve never charged directly before. This is a first for me. An exception to avoiding chess projects, I’m also starting a few income generating services such as member registration and automatic tournament list generation for chess. I’m doing this because it takes little time and generates long term passive income.
