WELCOME TO NEWT’S COVE
Welcome to my lil place on the internet
I’m Ness Shannon, aka Newt, aka newtbytes! I’m into all things cool and weird on the web ;).
I’m (kinda) nerdy.
Interests :3
Here’s a very short and overly vague list of my interests:
- Computer science!
- Machine Learning
- Compilers!! :333
- Intermediate representations
- Rewrite rules, expression equivalence
- Game development
- Creative writing
- Science fiction, mostly! I’m currently writing a novel. I should write more about that project….
WARNING
this site is super duper WIP!!
oh also i have no idea what i’m doing

there’s not much content here. maybe one day i’ll actually write something. For now, just know that somewhere, a nerdy guy that yearns to express his passions online exists.
![A goofy Mario-themed meme image that only Newt understands. It’s a bit hard to describe in this alt text, but bear with me. Weirdly edited text saying, “Friendship ended with ‘Vimm’s Lair’ now [a long very specific GitHub link to a ROM of the original Super Mario Bros for NES] is my best friend.” On the left, there’s a low resolution screenshot of a GitHub repo checked with a green checkmark, and on the right the Vimm’s Layer logo is crossed with a big red X. A weird correctly colored but spriteless version of the game is in between these two images.](https://newtbytes.cc/img/memes/https___github.com_Kautenja_gym-super-mario-bros_blob_master_gym_super_mario_bros__roms_super-mario-bros.nes.jpg)
