    I just attended the Peter Gade live chat. Although it was moderated it felt a bit crowded... and of course almost none of my questions were answered. Perhaps I should have asked more about soccer? ;) Answers were short and diplomatic, and he stubbornly ignored the more technical questions... and of course anything that had to do with Camilla (although I most certainly didn't ask about that!)

    Anyway, the chat was to 75% in Danish, but I have saved a transcript. If there is enough interest I might translate it. In fact, this calls for a poll!

    Hehe, Don -- don't worry. But I felt that in this case it could be appropriate... :)

    And Kwun, as to automatic translators, there is only one that I know of, but the results are usually completely incomprehensible... It's at www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran if you want to try it out...

    It would be nice if he would hold like a video conferencing get together. He could actually show us his technique visually as oppose to a text based response.

    If u have the time!

    It would be great if u actually convert things that are important as to tech and stuff like that. I am sure it is immaterial if he likes Nike or adidas better.

    So as u are one of the sane heads arnd pls ocvert what u believe is the most important to us.

    Thanks and i personally look forward to that post.

    I attended the chat too. I couldn't understand anything else besides English. :confused:
    Someone did ask if he is still going out with Camila and he answered he is not going to answer anything about his private life.

    I am not surprised at all though, think about all the idiots that woulda been there asking the stupidest questions. Also as there are so many ppl there obviously gade would have had a certain amount of time to answer a question so that he could get through so many questions.

    I personally missed it (unfortunately :() but i would have been surprised to see him elaborate on the technical details that people have had been asked..

    it would have been nice but i didnt see it happening :)
