My name is Rich Allcorn, aka Richard A. Allcorn.
I work in integrated technologies, and with LINUX. Additionally, I have expertise in macOS, and with Windows, to include Active Directory, Exchange Server, etc., but I prefer the UNIX world of LINUX..
Having worked with various forms of methods of connectivity, from dial-up to wireless, to packet switching, broadband, and mesh networking, I can say of the mainframes, the mini-computers, and elaborate systems that I have worked with, I much prefer "personal computers", and the way they can be clustered to create a synergy of one functioning unit, sharing loads and resources!. I specialize in shell scripting. I also work with batch files, with imaging and workstation/server replication, creation and implimentation. I deal with the creation, automation, and management of user accounts and information, and I also work with their related data. I have considerable experience in working with virtual environments, cloud environments and hosting, and in making the programming environment efficient and usable for creativity, for communication, for sharing and for making the world a better place, with our tools and resources.
Jack-of-all-trades?
A senior director at Dell Computer Corporation once told me, "Rich, the old phrase 'jack-of-all-trades is a master of none' just doesn't seem to apply with you! I have never seen anyone who can master systems and environments so quickly, having little or no previous knowledge of it, and still do a good job at it!" He went on to tell me that, as great as that sounds, people would always think and judge me as over-qualified, and it would be a hinderance to my career. I aim to prove that wrong, as well.
I love teamwork, communications, organization, documentation, and making things easier ... for all concerned. I will be the first to tell you that I don't have all the answers, but time has proven that if you are interested in learning, and know how to research and discover, you can do anything! So, "yes", I guess I am a 'jack-of-all-trades' at that! But my focus is on finding out what it is that "you" need done, and finding the way to get it done, efficiently, with excellence and with proficiency!
