Let's face it, most IT conferences are dull affairs where jaded suits slump despairingly over briefing notes in front of worthy but dull Powerpoint-driven presentations concerning the likely Indonesian market for desktop Linux during Q2 2017 before dragging themselves towards the free bar with the vain hope that they won't run into Bob from DynoSoftInc who will bang on for three hours about his company's killer app for highlighting Excel spreadsheet cells with animated Crazy Frog motifs.

Thank God then for Clearswift, whose 2005 MIMEsweeper User Forum beano at the London Aquarium promises to end with a bang.

The shindig is flagged as an event "essential for any MIMEsweeper user, and for those responsible for their organisation's email and web security". Yeah right. Let's see what's really on offer...

Well, the MUF begins to hot up at 9.30am with "Thoughts from the MUF Chairman", which should be enlightening, and proceeds via "The hidden backdoor threat to your system" and "Technical hints & tips" to the aquatic climax of the event - diving at MUF.

We kid you not. Let's face it, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Full details on MUF diving are available here. Phwoooooar! ®
