Hahaha :)

"(with-current-buffer (buffer-name)" - you are already in that
buffer...

and "(goto-char (point))" - you are already there!

"(next-line)" - see the help, one should use `forward-line'...

There is nothing in the code to do it "frem" beginning of line
but you can use `beginning-of-line' for that...
