Server-side highlighting of code in HTML

Basically you place you code examples in your HTML code in the <code-example> custom element with a language attribute for the language. Then, in the API handler you run the entire HTML blob through the highlightCode() function. This will use the existing @begin/parse5 package to parse the HTML. It will then traverse the DOM tree, find the <code-example> elements, do PrismJS magic on its contents and then places them back. At the custom element expansion stage the highlighted code gets put in the <pre> & <code> and adds the correct class name based on the language attribute of the <code-example> element.

I've spent the day trying to get this setup working with GitHub and given the number of gotcha's I encountered, it seemed like a good idea to document how I finally got this working with as few hacks as possible. There's a lot of documentation out there (some of it old and misleading) and committing here for posterity will help me remember this when I inevitably need to do this again.

Rationale

Passwords are simply not enough these days. Regardless of the company, breaches (and the associated Personally Identifiable Information harvested) are a matter of not if, but when. There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself, but being on the tin-foil-hat side of paranoia, means there are a few Commandents that I adhere to (and recommend for other folks)[Insert link to Fight Club Rules for the Secure Internet].

That being said, if you use 2-factor authentication and have committed to using a hardware token such as the Yubikey, then you're already ahead of the curve. The problem is that wh

Visualize data from a SmartThings sensor with Dweet and Freeboard

My SmartThings multisensor is a great little piece of technology. It reports, in real time, motion, temperature, and open/close state of my back door. The iOS app is slick, too, but I wanted a way to view it from my computer and have access to historical data.
Enter Dweet and Freeboard from Buglabs.

The SmartThings SmartApp and Dweet

There's actually no setup required on Dweet (but be sure to check out their nifty demo). It just starts eating data and making it available for use via HTTP/JSON!
