We may be working on slow mode thanks to the big move out of Lux City but that does not mean we have no time to note the big changes* in the Maltese Net World. The Times has chosen to wait for 11 days after the 1st of April to launch its spanking new online look. Thank the man in the sky for that otherwise we’d have suspected this was somebody trying to pull off another of those sophisticated pranks.
So here’s the new Times website lads… nothing more than a standard blog set up for 2011. Is that all they can do? Really? With all the resources at hand? I wonder who’s getting paid for this odd job… some lazy mutt with not much to think of beyond filching off standard templates that can be found on the net at the modicum price (prezz modiku) of 75$ (and that’s when you REALLY want to spend).
One of the greatest drawbacks of the new format will be that the ugly mutts of Bocca & Co will permanently feature at the bottom of the page like some eerie footnote.
Welcome to the Times 2011. It’s like J’accuse 2009… but darker….
*cheers to SL for the tip off.

Ġandir Malta said it best when he/she said: “L-aqwa li sa jkun hemm ritratt permanenti ta’ Fr. Joe Borg fil-faċċata biex ikun jista’ jippontifika dwar id-divozju b’iktar nies isegwuh”
grrr. We’ve been scooped by Gandir??? Damn lunchbreak.
Tut tut how OTP….
Still waiting for Mr Privitelli’s letter to the editor… pointing out that it’s “National” not “Local” news…
Probably developed from a free blog template from India. All the money went into customisation. like getting Bocca’s picture to slip below Fr Joe Borg’s et al. Sign of suitable reverence. That’s the trouble with having a fancy surname, Bocc… ;)
