I made a bit of money selling old computers on Ebay, not exactly programming but being aware of things. I did it mostly to support my habit of collecting them, letting the extra stuff go. A lot of people make their living providing support for off-warranty gear. By ferreting out sources I was clearing 2 - 3K / month for a while during the great Y2K scare.
You could consider writing (fiction or non-fiction). It can be relaxing and fun and if you work at it you may find that selling the occasional ebook on Amazon makes you a buck or two. (Of course you might end up programming a CMS that generates books based on a simplified version of markdown and then start selling that and make a mint, but I digress :-)
Not sure what you're finances are like by if you can buy a rental property you will find tenants provide an endless supply of puzzles to solve (not all fun, ok most not fun) but it can be extra income.
A friend of mine makes funny bumper stickers and t-shirts (more of a design job I guess). The guy two streets over used to have an ice cream truck he drove around on weekends and at events.
Taking pictures of store fronts and selling them to the business owners to attach to their Yelp page? Taking pictures of couples at famous landmarks and selling them a copy of their picture? Juggling at famous landmarks for tips?
Making cold calls for candidates during an election year? Working at Macy's during the holiday rush?
