Newbie, newb, noob, n00b or nub is a slang term for a novice or newcomer, or somebody inexperienced in a profession or activity. Contemporary use can particularly refer to a beginner or new user of computers, often concerning Internet activity, such as online gaming or Linux use.The origin of this term is uncertain. Earliest uses probably date to late twentieth century United States Armed Forces jargon, though possible precursor terms are much earlier. Variant forms of the noun include newby and newbie, while the related term noob (often stylized as "n00b") is often used in online gaming.

    I'm sure this has been asked many times but what's the best way/tool to cut a shower tray curve in hardi backer to minimise dust. After finding the centre and worked out the decent cuts, can I start from a straight chalk line from the fixed wood bath panel? ( brick pattern floor ) Cheers
