That’s your Paddle customer id not the key. The key is the contents of the license file you should have got

I can theoretically do that but only if they have allowed comms on signup. I can generate them on demand but I can be proactive. I’ll see if I can smash an email out later.

Same. I’ve done more open source work this year than ever. Countless 2am finishes as I hack away. Written down it looks like nothing.

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 02/05/2026

An open PR just now but will be merged this week and then you can pull the nightly. I’m hoping for full release within 2 weeks though. I’m basically waiting on this merge. Check out the PR though, I’m really proud of what is coming.

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 02/05/2026

My new canvas API will go a very long way into making the ImageSharp version easier to implement and more accurate

Woah! WTF! So sorry this has happened mate, that’s absolutely awful.

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 29/04/2026

Thanks. I’ll have a look. I want to see if I can bundle something with the rest of the info I have which would make it less painful

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 29/04/2026

I keep meaning to ask you. What metrics do you need for codepoints when measuring width in a console? EastAsianWidth?

What's this? ImageSharp rendering on the GPU at ~120FPS #dotnet #oss

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 26/02/2026

I’m actually currently building a WebGPU backend but it’s still very experimental. I know Greenshot are migrating to ImageSharp. I don’t know enough about how screenshotting actually works though to provide an opinion.

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 23/02/2026

Running some benchmarks comparing clearing a 1280x200px canvas and drawing repeated glyphs using the new CPU backend and experimental WebGPU backend I'm working on with ImageSharp Looking good so far! #dotnet #oss

I'm on the final stretch of adding COLRv1 and SVG support to @sixlabors.com Fonts. It's taken me a whole month of evenings to build out what I need. Trust me when I say that this stuff requires a lot of thought and attention to detail to get right. 😵‍💫 #dotnet #oss

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 22/10/2025

I saw a heap of results with radarr

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 21/10/2025

Huzzah! Left = COLRv1, Right = SVG Both rendered from different tables in the same font. @sixlabors.com Fonts v3 will support both! #dotnet #oss

The only thing I miss is hamstring curls and pull downs (I’m rather heavy for pull ups). My functional trainer is really versatile and has a squat rack which goes up to 154kg (plenty enough at my age). It’s taken me years to put it all together.

James Jackson-South @james-jackson-south.me · 15/10/2025

I gave up on the public gym and bought my own.
