His problem isn't his age, it's his resume.
Here are the reasons I would circular file this resume
1) Fix your website. Leading (or including at all) the story about your family squabble makes me think you're a nutter.
2) Overview section is useless. I don't care about your Linux distro: I care about how your skills help my company. In the modern world, that means you should talk about the server code you've built, or the clients (web or native) you've developed. If you're truly a generalist, you've done these things.
3) Pare down experience/key points. I don't care if you used DOS or AIX. Only list things that matter now, and only list things you know well. When I see lists this long, I assume you've just written every keyword you can think of. Also, get rid of nontechnical crap. I know you can write, I'm reading something you wrote.
4) No one measures code in pages, which makes me think you have no idea what you're talking about.
5) Give me more information about what you did at more jobs. I don't care about what the product did, I care about what you contributed. For example, the Grumman job has a lot of fluff. I hate fluff. Distill it down to what you really did: "wrote a Perl simulator of the CRM-114 for automated testing" would be much more interesting then the paragraph you've written.
Fix up your resume, and cleanup or hide your web presence, and you'll have a better chance.
