Commencing to beginulate

One of the regular characters on the Simpsons is Professor John I.Q. Nerdelbaum Frink, Jr.. The professor is pretty much an animated version of Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professor.
It's then a bit weird to see Frinkspeak in a real, commercial software product. Mozy backs up files on your computer to a server. The files are backed up when your computer is inactive, so you need only set it and forget it. We've been using it for quite a while and have been pleased with its ease of use. This afternoon, however, I wanted to check on the status of the backups and so launched Mozy as a foreground process:

According to the Urban Dictionary,"reticulating splines"is "the process of combining many short lines and curves into longer, interpolated ones called 'splines'." That's really helpful, isn't it?

My goodness, I've been redorkulated.
