34 people came to Tuesday's tech meeting!
I'm afraid I have an unfortunate postscript to add. I attended the
meeting with a mysterious rash on my chest, which turned out to be
herpes zoster, a.k.a. "shingles":

This is caused by a recurrence of the chickenpox virus. Fortunately,
herpes zoster patients are much less contagious than chickenpox
patients. However, adult-onset chickenpox is quite unpleasant, so if
any of the other 33 of you has *not* had chickenpox or been vaccinated
for it, you might want to check out the symptoms of chickenpox:

My profound apologies for the hassle; I hope this is all academic.
