The Meaning of Noob

I just discovered that the word "noob" has very negative connotations.

"Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed." -urban dictionary on the definition of noob

I'm not a noob if that's what a noob is. I don't wish to be praised by others' works. I hope to become a great programmer, but I know now that I'm far from being one. I'm still a newbie learning from my programming errors and learning from programmers that I'm a mere fraction of. I think this blog's URL is cplusplusnoob.blogspot.com and I'm not sure there is anything I can do to change this. :(

edit: I managed to change the site name to www.cppnewb.blogspot.com

I wish I could have changed the site name to cplusplusnewb, but that was taken by somebody.
