Tweak or tweaker may refer to:
Tweaker is an American alternative rock collaboration founded by Chris Vrenna in the late 1990s. Tweaker's musical style incorporates synthpop, progressive rock, modern jazz and electronica genres, and is characterized by a generally melancholy and sombre sound with distinctive artwork to match.
The album The Attraction to All Things Uncertain was Vrenna's "solo" debut and it was not until the follow-up album, 2 a.m. Wakeup Call, that Clint Walsh was announced as a permanent fixture to the band. While Vrenna and Walsh supply most instruments and electronics, many other famous musicians have lent their voices and talents to Tweaker, including Robert Smith, David Sylvian, Burton C. Bell, Craig Wedren, Will Oldham, Hamilton Leithauser, Buzz Osborne, Jonathan Bates and Johnny Marr.
The albums that have been released follow a central theme that was planned out and this was given to the collaborators. Both albums' cover art were paintings by Joe Sorren.
Tweaker wrote and performed the Soundtrack to Doom 3, Of which the theme song was released via the band's website. The rest of the soundtrack is accessible from the game's files.
Tweaker is an open-source, extendible software development build automation platform to consolidate the creation, management, and execution of scripts and custom utilities under a single location, intermix any languages (scripted or compiled) to perform tasks, allow common user interaction dialogs from all languages, and enable tasks to be executed from remote clients.
This tool was created independently then used initially by a subset of software and systems engineers developing the NATO ACCS project, a multi-language, distributed, real-time system.
Written in Java, Tweaker is a stand-alone desktop application which includes optional remote desktop and web client capabilities. These clients are developed with Java RMI and the Google Web Toolkit, respectively.
Tasks written in Ant, bash, batch, C, C#, Erlang, Java, SQL, and VBScript can be created and executed by default, with more language support available via third party extensions.
I hear them breathing
They know what I have done, all that I've been through
I tell them secrets
And who's to say it isn't so?
Move, don't move
stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum
This is frustrating
I'm sensing some of my hostilities
Distress and conflict
I've really just about lost all control
Move, don't move
stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum
What do you really want from me?
What is it?
I just really want to leave
I just really got to...
Angry?
No
Angry?
No
Angry?
Did someone whisper
I'm really not so sure
I could've been asleep
Is everyone this frightened?
Are there more like me? There's just got to be.
Move, don't move
stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum
Drink, don't drink
Still I'm lying drunk on my linoleum
Dream, don't dream
All the patterns fade on my linoleum
