I realize now that I had some misconceptions about the reform of the Divine Office. For instance, there were OT canticles in the old office. And there were petitions--better ones, in my mind, than the ones we have now, which sometimes seem more like mini-homilies.
I should that the current preces are very inspirational and spiritually rich. And I don't mind praying them for my interior and the Churches renewal, but I do a so like to pray for ordinary, external things, too, which the old prayers did. I know that there are alternative petitions in EP that are more like the older ones, but they aren't in the one-volume versions.
Here is the web site.
I wonder if there is a similar site for the official Extraordinary Form Breviary?

I thought breviary.net was run by the folks at St Gertrude in Cincinnati, who consider the SSPX to be a bunch of dope-smoking New Age liberal clown-Mass hippies, relatively speaking.
You might be interested in the Bute breviary, a private translation of the pre-Pius X breviary (see archive.org), and there's also http://divinumofficium.com/cgi-bin/horas/officium.pl, where the 1961 breviary is one of many options.
