Forgot your Bianca projects?
One easy way to see your Bianca projects is to use the Bianca remote desktop login screen at https://bianca.uppmax.uu.se/.
Has Bianca frozen?
It can take tens of minutes before an interactive session is allocated.
Bianca has not frozen, go ahead and have a coffee break :-)
